Grandma Anderson is now in rehab!
I knew that would get your attention! She has been moved down to physical therapy part of the hospital. This means she is doing very well and can get PT more easily. Plus they leave her alone and she can get some sleep. No meds, just walking, eating, and sleeping...mmm sounds pretty cushy to me! All you have to do is get a metal knee!
Mom is still working at the Seminary, she reports it is getting less hectic and she is feeling better about it. She is finding delight in the kids that come and say "hi".
Devan reports that James has the answer to all our dreams. They were coming home from the cabin and James said "Dad, I have the answer to all your dreams" Devan thinking this might be a great teaching moment said "Jamesy...I have a wife I love dearly, super wonderful children, a job that pays our bills"...James cuts in "no dad the answer to all your dreams is...five dollar pizza!" I'm not sure if James was hungry and dropping a hint, or if that really is the answer to all our dreams.

News Update about Grandma Anderson
Mom had her left knee replaced on the 19th and has been slowly getting better. Yesterday she had some problems with nausea, it seems that the iron they were pumping into her really didn't sit well. This morning though she was a lot better and may be moved to the rehab. center sometime today. The staff don't quite know how to take her wit and dry humor. She will ask things like "what if I don't want to go?" or "you can't make me can you?" But she has been a trooper and each day is getting better.
She is in the Mountain View Hospital in Payson, and would like to go home! I think they are thinking about 3 more days before letting her go home. The 20th they found a colt in the back of her knee, and that changed everything. The worry was a clot moving to lungs or heart or brain, so they have kept close tabs on her.

Hot days make great pool time for little fishies

Mom? What did you do at the pool on those hot days? "Well....I dropped out of airplanes and did face plants...for fun. Here is proof!"

"And occasionally I would perform my world famous "head drop" This is not to be done by amateurs. It is a little tingley on the top of the head but other than that it's quite fun!"
