Dad and Mom seem OK, going smooth for moment

Dad's pain is gone.  However, he is wanting to get off the pain killer medicine.  He feels his mind is affected, and is on the edge of being mentally unstable.  However, he has seemed to be mentally fine so far.

The elimination of pain has allowed Dad to be up and about normally.  We did a test drive where he drove and I was the passenger, and he did fine.  So he is comfortable driving to the doctor by himself now.

While visiting Dodge Park, Mom did not know what the name of a particular bird was.  I had to tell her it was a duck.
That seems extremely odd, since the rest of her vocabulary seems normal.

Mom is greatly looking forward to getting her large tricycle back in operating condition.  Uncle Robert took it to be repaired in his truck, and it is expected back Friday, 04/18/2014.  Mom is fondly imagining riding around the local sidewalks on it. Thanks much to Uncle Robert for handling it.

My Aunt Vera and Cousin Sean are having a rough time of it right now. Aunt Vera has bad swelling of the legs after some operations on other areas.
Cousin Sean has pneumonia.
I pray they both recover quickly and can endure the suffering as best as possible.

I also praise God for the suffering Jesus the Christ suffered, in part so he could understand and empathize with others suffering.
