Tuesday night, Jordan and Crysta went to visit Grandma the same time I did. We did a lot of catching up on life and hopefully kept Grandma company too. Spencer joined us after he was done with work. Every time Grandma would tell a story, I would grab a pen and paper and write down as much as I could!
Grandma ended up having surgery on Wednesday. Lots of family members were there to support her. Which is really good, because I felt badly that I couldn't be there. Julie actually ended up staying with her that night.
I got back to visit after work on Thursday. Spencer stayed home to study and go to lab. But Hanna met me at this hospital that night and we had the chance to talk for hours. We even made Grandma laugh quite a bit. I think she just got a kick out of us. But that's what we were there for. Grandpa Haslem rode out with Don and Wade that day and we got to visit with them too.
I stayed with Grandma on Friday night. She said it was good for Spencer to be on his own for one night. I slept pretty well that night, even though they kept coming in to check on Grandma all the time. By Saturday, Grandma was just ready to get out of there. She really did not like the physical therapist who would come in and make her walk and move her leg around. I tried to cheer her on and tell her she was doing well. She said "These are the longest halls in Salt Lake City!" She also referred to the physical therapists as "the fun people". I read to her off and on while we waited for Arlene to pick her up. Spencer brought me lunch and by that time, Grandma was able to get some more rest. We stuck around to see her off.
Now Grandma is recovering at the Villa in Roosevelt.We're hoping she will have a smooth and speedy recovery.
