Amazing

I decided I was well enough to go see my Grandfather today. He moves to the Rehab Hospital tommorow and I wanted to see him before that. He is doing better than expected. He has been up walking with the aide of a walker and a physical therapist. While I was there today, the nurse removed the drainage tube from his knee and I got to see his insision. It looked really good. He is planning on having his other knee done this fall. His is back to his stuborn self. I argued in circles on the phone with him last night about why my Grandma has to drive him to rehab and why he can't drive himself. He made no mention of it today, so hopefully he has realized he is not allowed to drive. He also confessed to getting himself out of bed during the night and walking, alone,with his walker, down to the nurses station in search of another sleeping pill. He's not supposed to get up without someone helping him. Since he has done it once, he'll probably do it again and it may be one of those things we just have to let him do and pray he doesn't get hurt. Now, if only we can figure out how to keep him off the riding mower in a few weeks when he is back home?

I had a bicycle club officers meeting last night. I don't ride, but my dad is the president. He's actually off on some ride in Floriday as I type this. He willl ride all day tommorow and finish up about 3 a.m. Sunday morning. crazy, yes, I know. He rode across the United States three years ago and has riden from Canada to Mexico and from California to the Grand Canyon and back, just to name a few. The year started with a new title for me. I am now "Event Director". This translates into "person who does everything no one else wants to do." I am going on my third year as the Director of The Heart Of Tennesee Century (H.O.T. 100) bike ride. Last we had grew to over 600 participants. It's a lot of work and a lot of permits and sponsor's rear ends to kiss etc...This year I am also taking on the Two County Metric. It is coming up April 16'th. It attracts a little less than half as many riders as the HOT and is quite a bit easier to stage. Even though the HOT is not until August 27'th, There are already things that need done to prepare for it. Basically I am trying to plan and finalize stuff for the Two county and work on the HOT at the same time. You can read more about the Club and these rides at www.mborobike.com
If I knew how to link to it, I would.

I love working with the Club. I saw them pull together as a family last year with the sudden death of a long time member, who was also an officer. I feel blessed to have my family, my church family and my bike club family. If only bike club wasn't a volunteer thing. It would be nice to get paid to do what I am good at.

One of the Club officers teaches Algebra at MTSU. She met me before the meeting at the Lawyers office we always have our meetings at, and helped me with the Algebra for my test Monday. She was a lot of help and told me some steps to solving algebra problems that I had forgotten.

Well, my nephew is about to leave. I need to go give him kisses :)
