Scenic Lake Powel

Can you believe I still have it, (Thank you Dr. Thomas for the knee repair),

Here I am with the young chicks, age is not keeping me from having some fun!

...this was our home away from home for the last week.

Thanks to my big brother John and his wonderful family

Lake Powell is amazing. Did you know that Lake Powell has
more shoreline than the entire coast of California.

No one can say I am vain if I willingly posted this early morning shot...

Robert's X rays

Robert kept getting professional opinions until he got the answer he wanted.
"You need surgery" so he is scheduled for 3 PM on wed June 24.
Dr. Thomas said let's just fix it right, now, and not worry about it "healing right" without surgery. He will have a metal rod in his femur and that will actually make his leg stronger for the future. Keep him in your prayers....

Bob's OK, just a flesh wound

Well family and friends, here's a brief update on the Gage family. On Sat. Bob lost his balance in his electric wheel chair, fell over on the power switch, spun around 8 or more times, crashing into furniture and walls, until I came in to the room after hearing him screaming HELP. I sat him up, and assessed the situation, he was shook up, but seemed to be ok. He went to a Gage family reunion an hour later and had no complaints. On Sunday morning his right upper leg looked really buff, almost normal size for you and I ( from the swelling), obviously not a match to his left skinny leg.
A trip to the ER and X-rays showed a fractured femur. The ER doc moved his leg around examining it, (all the while crepitus was heard from where I was sitting, YUK),
then Bob pipes up. Would that hurt if I could feel it?

The Doc says, Oh, believe me, you wouldn't even let me touch it, if you could feel it. Bob's heroic reply:

"I'm pretty darn tough, aren't I".

I have very sweet memories of Benson as a little boy

I don't know where his pants are...

the grandkids a long time ago

Holly is the cutest one of all!
