Day 42
We decided to see some things around Great Falls today and go see Glenna around supper time.
We went to the Charles Russell Museum. He sure was a prolific artist; painter sculptor, pen and ink and watercolors. The museum featured works by other artists and also had a collection of guns made by John Browning. I didn’t know he made a Kentucky style rifle with a revolving cylinder. Russell’s home and studio are also on the grounds of the Museum. We found two more of the painted buffaloes at the museum.
We went to Hoglund’s Western Wear, I needed a new belt. I also bought a new palmetto cowboy style hat. I’m going to take another hat there tomorrow and have it steamed and shaped.
We hung out at the motor home until about a quarter after five and then went to the rehab center. Glenna was in the dining room. She ate all her soup but only a bite of her spaghetti. Back at her room she called Eddie and Lottie and we talked to them for awhile and then visited with Glenna. She was alert and talked quite a bit. Then we got a surprise, she wouldn’t let the staff help her into bed. She said she was going to sleep in her chair. When ask why it was because she had to put on the boots to protect her heels from bed sores. She was adamant even after we pointed out she needed to get her feet up because her ankles were swollen. She actually got angry when we insisted. We left at about 8 PM. I left very discouraged about what kind of progress she will really make since she is refusing help, even to the point of not wanting to do her exercises.
The staff has a meeting tomorrow during the doctor’s rounds and I have been asked to attend. I hope her attitude is different tomorrow.
After leaving the rehab center we went to the KOA to get pictures of one of the buffaloes there. We stopped bay a Best Western Mote for another Buffalo. Then we went to supper at On the Border and we passed a 1st Interstate Bank and spotted another buffalo. This one makes 12 of the 26 that we have spotted.
Nothing is new to report on Neva’s condition. I hope no news is good news. If you want to send her a card the address is:
Neva Barnhart
5839 Hanford Ranch Avenue
