I've had a nice quiet weekend. Gary decided at the last minute to go to the deer lease with the other couple that are on the lease too. We needed to check on the trailer before we leave this Friday for a few days, so its good that he went. I hope he doesn't come home sick though.
Yesterday I went shopping early (Dollar Tree) for a few stocking stuffers for his sisters and their husbands. It was good because the stores were not crowded yet. Then I ran a few more errands and came home and made potato soup. That's mom's favorite so I took some over and ate lunch with her.
Then I just came home and did a few things around the house and rested. I took mom to the Texas women's basketball game last night, the first since she broke her leg. She was so excited! A friend of mine who has front row seats gave us her tickets so mom wouldn't have to climb the 17 stairs to our regular seats. I took mom in the arena in her wheelchair and then she just got right in the seat. It is a very different perspective watching a college basketball game in the front seats. It's up close and personal. One time a player from the other team was diving for a loose basketball and landed in my lap.
Fortunately, everyone around me put out their arms to stop her so she didn't land on me too forcefully.
Mom is doing well, but doesn't seem to have made a whole lot more progress (walking better) in the past couple of weeks. We see the surgeon this Tuesday and I think he will release her to put full weight on the leg. I'm going to ask if she can continue physical therapy for a while longer because I'd like to see her walking better. She says her knee is hurting and it probably is since she is walking "differently" due to not being able to step full weight on it.
This morning I think I'll go out for a leisurely breakfast and then go to the grocery store early before the crowds. I hope everyone has a good day.
