Update on Grandma & Grandpa

Some of you may be aware that Grandma Ann had gallbladder surgery today. The procedure is much improved since my surgery 30+ years ago. She went in at 6:15 this morning and came home by 3:30 this afternoon. They required her to walk around a bit and then she promptly went down for a nap. This evening she ate some pork chop for dinner. Amazing!
Grandpa is doing quite well also. I took this picture of him at lunch time. Either his appetite has picked up or he is just trying harder because he ate all of his lunch without difficulty. A physical therapist came by in the afternoon and helped him complete a series of exercises. His endurance has greatly improved. It was a briskly chilly day so they skipped the outside walk but I was quite impressed with all he did.
I hope the next few days go as well with Ann's recovery. Just thought I'd share the good news.

I am very glad to hear that Grandpa is doing better and that Grandma seems to be doing well after her surgery.
