Mom's new roommate

90 years young

Good morning, dad!  I know you check the blog on your laptop, and Marji sent us these great pictures.

Dad's been recuperating at the Cripple Creek Care Center since he left the hospital in February.   Well, no surprise, he amazed his physical therapists by going from bed to wheelchair to walker to cane to "look ma, no hands" walking in just a few months.  Weather permitting, each morning dad and mom take stroll around the building to work up an appetite for lunch.

We just heard the good news that they will soon share a nice private room at the Center.  Dad made the excellent decision not move back to the house at this point (hey, it's still winter in Cripple Creek.) The Care Center will drive them to appointments in Woodland Park and Colorado Springs, and if dad feels like gadding around town, the Cripple Creek free shuttle will pick him up at the doorstep.

We're grateful for all the affectionate and thoughtful care at the Care Center. Best of all, they are together in their mountain community, where they are so respected and loved.
