We have had a lot of cold weather since the last update and more now. It may warm up this weekend.

I have more X-rays on Monday and surely hope they show lots of healing. There’s Bingo at this place tonight and I just may go. Rose and I were remembering that was one of a few place we got to go as kids—Bingo at the church—and also to the Carnegie library, and the Ritz theatre – but only if the movies were not R rated.

Last night I even had a good time here. I was sitting by myself. My usual dinner companion was having dinner with her family. The table next to me had two of the usual three fellows. One of them got up and carried my food over to their table so that I would join them. They didn’t know Ding and Drew were joining me. Drew and Ding arrived and held their own with the older ones! And we had just two of the resident fellows. The third one went out with his daughter.

Saturday is Brayden’s 8th birthday. Someone who works here has a little boy named Brayden. This facility has what they call a Living Room, which we have reserved for a birthday party. Scott and the boys will get here late Friday evening. I’m not sure exactly when Beth will get here.

Rose just called and told me she’s on her way. She helps me walk after the therapist walks with me. Don’t mean ‘helps me,’ I mean instead assures I am getting along as the therapist instructed.
