Bad News: Today was my last appointment with Mary The Physical Therapy Lady. Tomorrow, I start as an outpatient in Oro Valley Hospital’s physical therapy facility. I’d rather keep Mary The Physical Therapy Lady, but they say I must make this move. Good News: Mary The Physical Therapy Lady has done such a good job […]

Reflection
Thanksgiving is past and so is my birthday, thank God. Nancy’s brother has flown back to The Cities, TV tonight is crap, and it’s a good time to think. Lots to think about too. On the top of my thought list is my sister and her family in Bismarck. I think that is all I […]
71!?
Someone told me that I am 71 today. Guess I will take their word for it even though I don’t feel like I am that old. Not quite sure what a 71 year old person should feel like, come to think of it. Is there some kind of benchmark that I should be aware of? […]
Thanksgiving
We had a great Turkey Day here in Southeastern Arizona. The weather was perfect and so was the prime rib (The Baby). Nancy cooked it to perfection. In addition to “porking out” on the prime rib, we watched football and David helped me hang the doors on the cabinet I made for the living room. […]
Another Facebook Find
My visits to Facebook have been very productive today. Just found this photo. As reported previously in this blog, my daughter-in-law, Julie, completed her fourth 60 Mile, Three Day Walk For The Cure last Sunday. Terrific accomplishment. The photo shows Julie being met by her family at the finish. I’ve concluded that Julie is standing […]
Facebook Find
I found this photo on Facebook today. The guy is my son, Marty. I’ll leave it up to you to decide who the ladies are. One is Marty’s wife, Jan. The other is their daughter, Lindsey. The question is: Which one is the mother? You may not know it, but these three are famous. Garrison […]
Thanksgiving Eve.
Otis and I are holding down the fort while Nancy and her brother, Dave, are out house-hunting. They are with the agent who helped Nancy and I find our Arizona house. Dave is planning to be a snow-bird for awhile (His other house is in Minnesota.) and then maybe a full-time Zonie at some point. […]
Doctor Is Happy. I Am Happy.
Had my post-surgery follow-up with Dr. Levi today. The staples came out, and new x-rays were taken. Dr. Levi’s verdict: “That looks just exactly like it is supposed too!” Had a big smile on his face as he said it. Next appointment with Dr. Levi is Dec. 8. Will make the appointment to have the […]
Knee Replacement Record
One of the reasons I started this blog was to document my knee replacement. Since I’m having the second knee done within two months, what I record in this blog may be a handy reference for me later. I got to thinking that this record would not be complete and useful unless I had a […]
Eric and Julie
Someone recently posted some old Poway Pop Warner Football photos on Facebook. I recognized the people in two of the photos instantly. I downloaded them from Facebook and made the collage you see above. While Eric was playing Pop Warner Football, Julie was a cheerleader for his team. I don’t think they knew each other […]
