Gramma has been our focus and we keep trying our best. Senior's ended in May so no more breaks on Wednesdays. Gramma had her second booster shot and we had Nora Hallenbeck over for a lunch visit. In June Gramma fell and hit her head so we took her in for a cat-scan which showed no bleeding so she was able to go to Addie's Acre for the weekend as Jon and Sharon were coming up for a weekend visit with the grandchildren. In late June Gramma fell in the bathroom and was a little sore so we waited over the weekend to see how she was doing and she was still in pain so we took her in for X-rays and found she had fractured her right pelvis. The orthopedic doctor said she would have nerve pain but there was no danger in letting her walk. They gave her ultram for pain but after a week we put her back on tylenol because of her behavior. She had Sparrow come out to evaluate her and she is having OT and PT again along with some help with her showers. She went for her physical this week and her weight is down to 113 pounds and is not eating like she should and her doctor noticed how much she has declined. She was able to go to the Alvarado Reunion for 3 hours and Petra enjoyed staying in her face while there. I had the mole removed from my head and it has healed. I have been to 2 concerts at Sharp Park this summer and Jane and I are still taking our days at the YMCA. Phil and Stef were here for Mother's Day weekend and Lukas and I went to Debbie's 60th birthday at ConfluxCity Brewing in Portland in June. I went to a small gathering at Green Dot Stables for a 53 class reunion for 3 hours and had a good time talking with Steve Schultz there. On the June 24 Jane and I went to Mike Medrano's funeral at Cristo-Rey and St Joseph Cemetery while Mark sat with Gramma. Phil and Stef were finally able to move in their new house last week and are busy getting everything settled. Jane is with her cousins at Flap Jack for a well earned brunch break today. The world is a mess with war, inflation, excessive heat, fires and unstableness but we don't have time to worry about all that is falling apart as we try to hold what we can together.
