Gpa's Hip Replacement


We are so glad it's over...this was the hip replacement on the right side. He already had one on the left. Our children were great to help us as always. Butch couldn't get here because he's working in North Carolina but he called several times and he made sure the other two were here. It snowed while we were in the hospital.
David and Melissa spent the night with us Thursday night and we all got up at 4:30 a.m. for the surgery . Rose came and sat with us during the surgery and our friends from church came... Bill and Pat, Tom, Mark and Sammie .
Rose moved in with us for a few days and she gave Gpa the dreaded shot in the stomach..(dreaded by me because I thought I would have to give it)

Melissa and David came back last weekend and Melissa fixed every meal while she was here..pancakes for breakfast and Pork with Spanish Rice for dinner.

He needs exercise ,so we walk back and forth on the driveway 13 times to make a quarter mile...
