I got my therapy done and got cleaned up. We had lunch. Hi and I went to Westwood Mall. Hi bought linoleum to put on cupboard shelves. I had Lana Schritter put color on my hair and set it.
Mom had both knees replaced in December of 1983, I think. She had one replaced on December 7th and the other on December 14th. I don't know if she was still doing therapy for her knees one year later, in 1985 or if she was doing therapy for something else.
I never really knew my maternal grandmother very well. She passed away when I was 14, but she was very sick with Dementia for many, many years before that. One of the last things I ever remember her saying to me is that she loved me. What I do know about her is that she loved her family with all her heart. She was an extremely hard worker. She loved the Lord. Last year at the Talbot family reunion, my aunts were going through some of my grandparents old things when they came across my grandma's old day planners, in which she wrote out every thing she did for the day; a mini journal. So I am going to blog about her life in 1985 and try, when I can, to do something that she did that day. In the process, hopefully I will get to know her a little better, and maybe even get to know myself a little more.
