Diary Entry for 1/18/2000

Very cold again -15° over night. Only up to 0° all day. A little warmer at night. I talked with Lyla. Vi called in AM. Jolie called from her home. Madison got home yesterday. Nancy came for me about 4 PM. I found Merrill much improved. They had him up walking yesterday and today. He wasn’t sleepy at all. He kept trying to take his chair apart. He asked me if I had a screw driver. Jim brought me home. He stayed for supper. I tripped over the wastebasket and fell flat in breakfast room. Tore skin off my left arm and bruised my left breast. Jim picked me up and bandaged my arm for me.
