I had a nice day (so far). I started off with an early morning nail appointment and then I got a badly needed hair cut. Doesn't it feel great to get your hair cut when it's grown to the point where it won't hold a style any longer? I feel so much better.
After my hair appt., I picked up Megan and Nathan and we went to see Charlotte's Web. What a darling movie! It was better than I expected and will buy it for my library and for their movie collection when it comes out on DVD. Megan and I cried during one very touching moment. She put her head on my shoulder - it was so sweet. Nathan's eyes were glued to the screen the whole time but he didn't get as emotional as we girls.
I dropped them off and came home. We may get some rain this afternoon and I wanted to be home before it starts. The roads are so slippery during the first few hours of a new rain.
I spoke to my sister this morning. She had a short update from my Mom about my Dad. I guess the back specialist feels that he needs physical therapy to get over the pain he's in. They do not think surgery is an option for this type of injury. He will be in the hospital for another 3 days so they can help him regain his strength and work with him on the proper way to get out of bed and to move in different situations. His pain level was much lower this morning and he was more aware of his surroundings. The hallucinations were over which is a very good thing. My Mom is arranging for a home health care nurse to come in once he is home to help him. She cannot lift him or help him physically. Also, a home health nurse will give her some time for herself if she needs to run errands or if she wants to go to her Bible study or quilting group. My Dad can be a real baby and demanding in the best of situations so I'm very glad she is getting the extra help so she won't be a slave and house bound.
I have some laundry to do and some light housework to finish before I start dinner so I'm closing for now.

Oh yes, nothing like a good haircut, it just renews my spirit! I'm due next Tuesday and I can't wait. :) I'm glad to hear you like Charlotte's Web, I was thinking of going to see it. I always loved the annimated one but was afraid this one would pale in comparrison, I'll give it a go! The head on the shoulder was touching...it made me miss my Mandy. :)
I'm glad your Dad doesn't need surgery, but hope the therapy and rest will do the trick....I'll certainly keep them both in my prayers.
Pooh Hugs,
Linda
Oh my, another movie to add to my list. That's been on my list just not high up and now with your review, it's moved up. Haircuts can do so much for our self esteem! As is with getting our nails done. I need to get out and do some of those things!
