Yesterday I went to Draper by myself. There was no one else that could go with me, which in and of itself is not a problem. The negative consequence is that we couldn't play cards. You need an even number of people to play hand and foot, so it was time for a plain old visit.
Mom and Dad were doing good. They had gone to Payson on Saturday to see Aunt Rita, who had just had hip surgery. Aunt Rita was doing well and was supposed to be released yesterday or today to go to a rehab center for a couple of weeks.
That's all folks!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Okay, I know it is after Valentine's Day and I missed last week. I thought about it several times, but never when I was sitting at the computer. So, this week, instead of waiting until after our Sunday night visit, I am writing after our Friday morning visit so that I don't forget.
Last Friday when Jane and I got there, the first thing we noticed was Grandma's new Jazzy. It is beautiful! Mom demonstrated it for us - it is very cool. She can raise it up and lay back. It will also let her move her legs to different positions. The Cadillac of Jazzy's! Cool!
Sunday, Bill and Morgan went with me to play cards. Because we had an odd number of people, Mom sat out. I always try to have an even number so she plays, but Bill and Morgan didn't really want to go by themselves. sigh.
I took out some spaghetti the week before last, and potato casserole last Sunday for Mom and Dad. Both of them were still in the fridge when I went out today. I threw out the spaghetti, but left the casserole in case they want it this week.
Jane is being potty trained. She is doing pretty good, even when she is with me. I promised her a big jar of pickles when she masters the toilet!
When we got there today, Mom and Dad were not there. I was surprised at first because their car was in the driveway. They left a note telling me that they went to a viewing at the church (their neighbor had passed away). So, I started cleaning. They came home about 25 minutes after I got there, Mom in her Jazzy and Dad walking, not quite keeping up.
The rest of the day was normal. Life is good!

Sunday Church and Cards
Laura went with me to play cards with Mom and Dad. We took down some spaghetti for them have for dinner sometime. I did ask Mom if she likes spaghetti. She said that she does sometimes and Dad always does. She also pointed out that she used to make it only because Nancy loved it. I always knew that Nancy was the spoiled one.
Mom also said that her and Dad both got all dressed up and went to church for Sacrament Meeting for the first time in six months, only to find out that no one was there today. It must have been Stake Conference. So they came back home.
They were not watching the Super Bowl at all, just a movie on cable, Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Mom and I won at cards again. Hooray for us!

Laser Treatments
Jane and I went to Draper today. Jane is being potty-trained and so it was the first day she has gone with me with no diaper! She did good, no accidents. Hooray!
When we got to Draper, Mom and Dad weren't there. Mom was at a doctor appointment with a new doctor who is doing laser treatments to hopefully stop the pain. Mom said that she will have 25 treatments, three a week for two weeks, then twice a week after that. Today was her second day. After her first treatment her ciatic nerve was hurting pretty bad, so she took a Lortab when she got home, but then didn't need another one until early this morning. That is better than usual. She was in pretty good spirits when they got home, better than usual when they have gone out. She didn't seem tired and sat and visited with Jane for a while.
All is good!

Dalton's Birthday
We didn't go out to Grandma and Grandpa's on Sunday night because it was Dalton's planned birthday celebration. I did call and make sure all was well and to remind them that nobody was coming.
On Friday, Jane and I made our usual excursion to the house. Everything went well, Mom was lying down when we got there, but she got up shortly after we arrived. She has been in a lot of pain lately.
This week I am going over on Thursday (tomorrow) because I have to work on Friday and Saturday. When I called Mom to remind her, she told me that she has a doctor appointment at 9:00 so she might not be there when we get there. Other than that, it will be the regular routine!
