Heart Scans

We made a quick trip to OKC for both of us to have heart scans (Andrew's was a follow-up) and also to spend some time with Mike and Margo.

Papa C

Papa C has had another seizure. Dr. Downs said the MRI of his brain on Wednesday showed some small strokes and that could be causing the seizures. His medication will be adjusted. He also needs foot support for both feet, which he may be able to get at the VA hospital. He has been having trouble walking, possibly because of some nerve damage, if I understand correctly.

What's New Now?

The holiday busy season is over, the decorations are in the attic, and it's time to take stock and reorganize for the new year. This is when, if I had unlimited funds, I would go to the Container Store and fill up with stuff - yes, I do know how to have a GOOD time!!! I've made a small effort by cleaning out a closet or two and my desk drawers... again, wild & crazy good times. I spent the day with Papa C yesterday, and the three of us had lunch at the Tea Room in Mabank - I even splurged on their chicken salad, which is worth every minute I'll now have to repent on my elliptical trainer. Made a big pot of pasta fagiole for Murr C & Papa C and one for home. Looking forward to watching some football this weekend - it's Tebow time, although it will probably be Brady time when the game's over. Jackie and I have somehow managed to find time in our schedules to get together today - looking forward to it! Watched an old movie last night, on Kevin and Rachel's recommendation - Rear Window, with Grace Kelly and Jimmy Stewart. It's worth watching even if only to admire the clothes that Grace Kelly wears, and the camera lens that the main character (a photographer) wields! I finally finished the digital scrapbook that I made of our trip to France in 2004 - yes, it only took me 7 years to do! It finally bubbled up to the top of the To Do list! Now I am eagerly awaiting its arrival from Snapfish. Gong Gong, Pop Pop and I are going to Austin next weekend - Kevin and Pop Pop are going to a UT basketball game! Andrew is staying very, very busy with his hobby/business, and I am so happy for him that after so many years of being a great, hands-on Dad - going to countless soccer games and motorcycle events, that he now finally has the time to spend with his beloved tools and garage! We are going to Oklahoma City to visit Mike & Margo the next weekend. Now, it's time to put on my workout clothes and try to work off that chicken salad!
