Hip Hip Hooray...

Sam has a shiny new hip...sort of.  On Monday the gracious Dr. at the Uof U Orthopedic Center, cut Sam open.  And fixed his hip.  Not a brand spankin new one, mind you...but may as well be!  We are all crossing our fingers that this one will hold up for at least 7 years...then he will be able to have a hip replacement... on both sides, no less.

We live a really exciting life.  Should I get Sam some tennis balls for his walker?  After watching UP..it seemed like the perfect gift... Ha, ha!!!

He is doing well considering what has been done.  He is up and about with his crutches.  Doesn't complain much...and likes to go sit outside in the sunshine.  Yesterday he was crusing around on the 4-wheeler with his crutches in the rifle rest.  I should have taken a picture.  Sam, side saddle in pj's...it was hilarious!

Anyway...that is about it.
Hope you have a beautiful weekend!
