OUR BUSY LIFE
We'll try again to do some blogging..After three months I'm without casts and wheelchair
air boots and walker and now just using a cane... Gene has been busy with the back yard
which seems like and endless battle... We have one pink rose bush that just won't quite
blooming. So we have been able to enjoy cutting them for us to enjoy as well as friends
and family.... Then his new project has been a book case. Which has turned out really nice.
His left knee has given him trouble for years---so he will be having surgery Tuesday (30th)
We'll keep you posted on how that goes.... Now for pictures.....Having a little problem..
will post this and try again

Lazy Days
It seemed like forever, but the day finely arrived when we got our car back from the repair shop. It really looks nice. It had a big dimple in the trunk and a crushed back bumper. The thing that took so long was the paint which is a pearl color. It takes three layers and each had to be completely dry before they could put on the next one. After we picked up our car Joan drove it to the rental place that had rented us a car. The insurance paid for the rental . Joan was going to follow me because she wasn't quite certain where the place was. As it turned out, I turned out about a hundred yards from the place. She went on down to the Rental store to wait for her lost lamb. She then walked back to Bruce's office which was about a hundred yards and he walked with her back to the rental store. All is well that ends well.
I have contracted a deep cough and developed a pain through the right side of my chest, so I went to the Dr. yesterday. I drew the PA that is in our ward. He is a good man, but a little unsure of himself. He gave me a prescription for the cough, but wanted an X-Ray of my back. I took the prescription for the X=Ray and went around to back side of the building to get the X=Ray. It will be two weeks before I can get one.
On the other hand it was a beautiful sunshiny day. Joan's hand and arm are doing quite well. One day her hand hurts and the next day her arm aches. She smiles and bares the pain.
I have a question for Traci. What in the world is a Georgia School. You mentioned inviting people to a Georgia School. That is quite a way from Bloomington, Isn't it?
Tomorrow the temperature is supposed to get clear up into the high fifties and I expect to get my Sweet Peas set out. We are going to change some bushes out front and put in a larger patch of Pansies.
Joan is rapidly getting back to her old self and doing more work around the house than she should. But she is everything to me and she is the best medicine I could have. Love all of you Bruno.

Llazy Days
Well the big day arrived yesterday and I took Joan to Bountiful to have the cast removed. I wondered what kind of a saw they would use. The nurse pulled a vacuum can over to the table, It was something like a Shop Vac. except this had a hose with a tiny saw on the end. She explained to Joan where she was going to cut and quickly made to cuts. One on each side of the cast. I was curious about that saw. The blade was round and about two inches in diameter. She showed me that it was strictly a vibration that cut through the cast. The only way it could hurt is if it got onto the skin and the vibration could cause a burn . She had put on a load of bandage when she put the cast over it and the saw never went into the bandage. I'll bet that thing would be great on sheet rock. Well she was careful not to bother the little pearl that held the metal rod (that's what the Dr. called it) The Dr. removed the white pearl and left about a half inch of the metal rod sticking out of her wrist. He picked up a pair of pliers and pulled the metal rod out of her wrist. I was about the size of a large needle. When it was out of her wrist it was about three inches long. He said the wrist and hand looked great. It didn't look that great to me, but I am not a DR. The nurse gave her a brace to slip on and off of her hand. She already had one at home. The Dr. looked at his calendar and noted that his cadillac payment was due in two weeks, so he told Joan to come back in two weeks and then she will have to go back two weeks after that.
Her hand is doing well. she has a ton of dry skin to remove with lotion. The pain is gone and that is what counts.
We enjoyed Tony and Becky's short visit last night. They left about eight this morning. Becky and Lori will be back Thursday and stay until next Tuesday. we are looking forward to that. Tony and Kevin had to go back on Thursday.
My sweet peas are about ten inches high and I want to get them out of the kitchen today and plant them outside. They can stand a lot of cold weather and should have been planted last October. They are taking up a lot of space on the counter. My pansies are about an inch high and it will take another week or so to put them outside.
That is about all that is happening in our household. When DJ gets here I am going to have him finish the wiring of the light on our flag as well as replace all of the batteries in the smoke alarms. Hope all of you have a happy day. Love ya Bruno.
