Grani has new wheels. Last Sunday, while using the walker, she fell reaching for the candy tray, so she decided it was time for the wheelchair. Her knees have given out, pretty much permanently. The first day was a bit of an adjustment, but after she figured out how to control the wheels, she realized she was much more mobile.


She also had another TIA (mini-stroke) which caused her face to be numb on the right side from her tongue to her eye area. She says it feels like Novocaine following a dentist visit. This makes eating a challenge, so soups have become a favorite meal choice.

Her sisters, Carol and Cathy, came to visit 2 weeks ago, and the 3 of them they had a wonderful time. They laughed a lot about when they were young. We got a kick watching them in matching jean shirts. It must be a genetic flaw. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Grani's home to yours!!
