A Twist in Our Plan

A few weeks ago we had plan to attend "Festival of Trees" at the Southtowne Expo Center.  We traveled to Sandy and visited a few stores before we went.  As we got out of the car I realized that I had left my purse at home.  This wouldn't have been a big deal except for the fact that "Festival of Trees" only accepts cash and checks.  Joseph had his wallet, but he only carries cards in his wallet.  I carry the cash and the checks.  I hoped he had placed his debit card in his wallet so we could go to the ATM, but alas no, he didn't have that either.  We decided to go out to eat at  Cafe Rio and then to Joseph's building for a visit.  I've been a couple of times with Isaac, but the kids in school had never been.  

We walked around each hallway and looked at his "Festival of Trees."  He has 9 or 10 trees throughout his building.  The highlight of the night was when he showed the kids the therapy gym and therapy pool.  It was hard keeping them from jumping in.  We turned to see Isaac taking of his shoes and socks and starting to get his shirt and pants off.  It was so funny!  In the therapy gym, they enjoyed running up and down the "bridge" steps, throwing balls and scooting themselves on the round wheeled chairs all across the gym.  Our disappointment from not being able to attend "Festival of Trees" was soon swallowed up in the joy we felt from meeting his night staff, visiting with some of his short-term and long-term patients, getting treats from his office, and of course visiting the therapy gym.  It was a great Friday night!

If you or anyone you know in the Salt Lake Valley, need inpatient or outpatient physical therapy, send them to Sandy Health and Rehab.
