Willie catching a bit of sun this morning, January 11, 2017, next to The Crazy Purple Petunia. That dang plant has been blooming non stop since last summer. It's been frost bit, snowed on, had freezing rain fall on it, and it still keeps coming back with more blooms.
Much like Dad...
(note: my FB page and the blog are not tied together, I like it that way! I can say what I want on the blog, FB not so much.)
"Dad fell at home early Sat morning, broke his right hip, after a brief
stay at St E's, he was transported to Feather River Hospital. He had hip
replacement surgery that afternoon, and did well. He is there til
given the go ahead to transfer to rehab. A big thanks to all our
wonderful family, friends, and neighbors who have stepped up to help in
any way possible. And a Huge Thank You to orthopedic surgeon Dr DeFrancisci,
and the surgery dept staff at Feather River Hospital, who have all gone
way above and beyond the norm with their many kindnesses."
Dad is doing well, they have had him up and walking. He will be transferred up to rehab in Anderson, 20 miles N of home, sometime today. I will meet him up there, and try to sneak Willie in for a quick hug, it would do them both good. Dad is milking this more than a bit with all the cute young nurses hovering around him.
Dad's girlfriend called and asked if she should send him flowers. I said, "Nooo, flowers just wilt and then make you sad, send him a blowup dolly to keep him company!" I heard a choked giggle and then the line went dead, I guess she's working on that...
