News About Evelyn
Becky’s mom, Evelyn, was rushed to hospital at Olathe a couple weeks ago as the nurses at the nursing home were convinced she was having a heart attack. She wasn’t. The hospital ran tests and sent her back.
Thursday they took her back to the hospital on account of severe abdominal pain. She was finally diagnosed with gall stones. Yesterday they removed her gall bladder. We visited her this afternoon and she’s doing well. She’s 79, I think. She had a mastectomy several years ago on account of breast cancer.
The weather was weird today. I stopped to get gas in Lawrence before heading for Olathe. Strong wind blowing big snowflakes, it was blizzard-like. The wind was blowing so hard, though, nothing was sticking to the pavement. Along the highway, a couple miles out of Lawrence, it stopped snowing, still much wind. A few miles later, here was the blizzard again. Then it let up again, started up again. On the way back, it was snowing for awhile, then the sun came out, although it kept snowing. I think it’s quit now. There’s snow on the ground in the yard, but nothing on the street. Good ol’ Kansas weather!
Don’t know when they’ll discharge Evelyn. It was laparoscopic surgery. One of my clients had that after a burst appendix. It’s amazing what they can pull out of your body through such a small hole in the skin!

I’m glad Grandma’s doing much better. I sent her a Valentine’s Day card. I wonder if she got it. It had a donkey on it. Nothing better than a donkey on a card.
How’s the weather now?

Weather’s back in 40’s and 50’s, at least until this weekend. They say it’ll get cold again then. Actually, in a way, I kind of wish it would get freezing and snow and wintry. This nice weather is reminding me it’s almost spring which means summer’s right around the corner and it’ll zing by into fall which means I should start planning for Christmas.
