well, in a couple of weeks i'm going to California to visit my parents. Daddy fell the Wed. before Easter, and broke his hip. They had to wait about 5 days to do surgery because he'd been on blood thinners. Then he was in a nursing home for a few weeks. Of course the medical community said it would be long term, and they couldn't see him going home, and he shouldn't put any weight on that leg for at least 8 weeks... you know how they talked. God moved, he went home at the end of about three weeks. After four weeks, his Dr, had an xray taken, looked at it, and said he could begin putting weight on it using a walker. Some friends at church had some air miles they couldn't use before they expire in a couple of months, and so, I'm going to go for a few days to visit them.
