The Family Hippie

One very tired Dad!
First outing - the nail salon.

Walking the countetop in 5 steps or less


Taking a few unsteady steps with Mom's friendly cane.



Just a quick update on Mom and her progress since surgery.
She is doing so good and improving everyday. We do
physical therapy (Dad and Diane) everyday and each
time she gets stronger and stronger. I took her for a
nail appointment (top picture) and that was her real
first outing and she did awesome. She also braved getting
her eyebrows waxed! Saturday evening the city of
Palmyra held a Christmas concert at the stake center
and she wanted to go. 3 choirs from around the
community performed and she totally enjoyed herself.
Many people commented on the sparkle and smile the
saw and how much they had missed that part of her
in the last few months. Before the end of the week we
should have her off the walker and completely on the cane.
Next hurdle - her confidence! She feels very unstable on
the cane but with more and more practice she will do just
fine. They have been well watched over by their ward
and temple friends. Still glad I could be here with them.
A boost for all of us. We will try to post some videos
of her workouts ... pretty fun.
