On May 15, 2008 Grammie was taken to the hospital. She was close to dying and to the hospital she went. The doctor drained fluid off her lungs and said she was as good as new. Five days later she was brought home to a hospital bed in her sun room and she's been there ever since. This week I asked her about polishing the silver and she said, "I have no ambition."
I thought I could list some of the things that I've done or experienced in these past 3 years.
~Stopped working at Franklin because the building closed
~Started working at a junior high in Special Ed.
~Sewed 30+ quilts
~Read 4 Harry Potter books out loud to Grammie
~Spent lots of time at Grammie's (some with laughter and some with tears)
~Finished my first crossword puzzle (back when Grammie could give me the answers to 1/2
the questions)
~Gained more control of my headaches
~Learned I can't eat wheat/gluten or corn
~Learned how to bake bread
~Learned how to make most of my food
~Left the junior high and moved back down to elementary
~Decided to get my teacher certification
~Walked a 1/2 marathon (13/1 miles)
~Went to Portland for a couple of days
~Spent lots of time in Denver
~Went to Michigan to ride the boat one last time
~Watched Audie graduate with a Masters
~Watched Eli and Spencer graduate from high school
~Moved into my own apartment
These are things I can think of off the top of my head. What have you done is the past couple of years?
