Just If You Can

Myrna wrote: Dearest Melanie: In the next day or two, please call Julie. She has been stuck at home with sick kids for the past two weeks. Jim is in California with the bees. She will not let us in the house because she is afraid that we will get the flu from them. Our lone contribution to her welfare has been to drop a Sunday meal off at the house and run home. We have talked to her a few times on the phone.

I know you can empathize. I know you remember how you felt in like circumstances. 

We love you!

Melanie wrote: Yes...I was talking about this with some of the women in my ward. I really remember being spouse-less for most of the children's illnesses. 

I will try and call tomorrow. Poor thing. She enjoys frying pan to fire moments, doesn't she? Mel

Myrna wrote: I think she has the same affinity for them that you do. I used to wish I lived closer to you so that I could help you more. Now I know, however, that you would have been afraid for my health and I would just have had to do what I do here. I could pray for you long distance.

How is your problem? Do you go back to the doctor soon?

Melanie wrote: I need to schedule a check up for after March...the doctor here isn't too worried, as I haven't had a really bad flare up for a few months.

This particular link is for Grandma Trauntvein. He has compiled lots of information besides just the charts. Thought I'd pass it along just in case, but I know some of you probably already have this site saved. 

Love,

Prior to having Myrna's tooth done.

Myrna wrote: Dr. Doug Peterson prescribed Amoxicillin for me and told me to start tomorrow. Is that what is needed? Also, he said, that I should let Jared do an implant. Doug doesn't do them but thinks they are great. I don't have any idea what is the best. I do love you all. I hope this doesn't make me useless to you.

Kirsten wrote: Jared says that's fine if you start the antibiotic now; he usually has his patients do the treatment the day of or the day before, but doing it now will be great, too.  He may also prescribe you a steroid to help the healing.  He'll know more once he gets in there. :)

Love you!  Thanks for being willing to come for so long to help!

Myrna wrote: You know, this really bothers me. I want to help you and I should PAY Jared. He married you not the whole famdarnmily. What about the fake tooth? There was something in there about six weeks or so. 

Kirsten wrote: This will literally just be an extraction and bone graft. You can't get your implant until your bone heals and becomes solidified. That's what will be about three months out. At six weeks you will need someone who can take out the membrane over the grafting material.  Jared says any competent dentist can do that.

You won't get your crown for about six months

Myrna wrote: Well, it won't be Dr. Peterson. He doesn't do that. I held off on the antibiotic. I will start it before we come, however. I have it now, 550 mg Amoxicillin to be taken three times a day. Thanks for the information. Does Jared know someone who will take out the grafting material?

Calleen Powell was one of my bridesmaids

Myrna wrote Tyrone Powell to ask about Calleen Powell.

I am wondering if you know where Calleen Powell (married name?) is. I lost track of her years ago. Can you tell me about Calleen? I wanted to get in touch with her again. I was one of her bridesmaids and she was one of mine. She had suffered polo as a child, and had a withered leg, but became a wonderful nurse. We were in the same ward but she was a bit older. We actually became good friends when I fell down a flight of stars and injured myself. She was my nurse at the hospital and we became close after that. At any rate, I have been thinking of her and would like to get in touch but it has been so many years. Somehow, when I was a young mother and had a passel of kids, I didn't manage to keep up with my friends very well. I would like to make amends.

Powell was her maiden name and I cannot seem to remember her married name. She was a nurse and had had polio. She had one leg that was thinner than the other because of the disease. We were good friends though she was older than I was by a couple of years. Her family lived just off Carbon Ave. on the street where Mabbitt's old store was--that corner. It goes west. Rats. I can't think what it is. I'll have to Google a map. I'll have to let you know. Sorry. I guess I should just do all that and then send this but, just maybe, you can figure out what I am talking about. Their house would have faced east on that street. I know, I know. I am talking to a Powell who had/has a hundred relatives in Price.

Tyrone wrote: What is  her husband’s  name?

Myrna wrote: It is too late to worry. I found that she had passed away in 2005, so I waited a little too long to try to get in touch.

She was such a spunky girl and, even though her leg was a problem, I never heard her complain. She came to my home and I went to hers. We went to the same ward. I had asked her to be my maid of honor, but, the night of the reception, my grandmother had not understood that and, while I was getting ready, lined them up differently. I just let it go. Calleen never did say anything about it and neither did I. I did help her plan her wedding, which was after mine. I helped her pick out my dress and made it for myself. Her marriage was not a temple wedding and we held it at the ward. I marched up the isle with her. She was so hopeful that she would convert her husband. She moved to Kansas, I think. We sent cards back and forth for a bit but then we just stopped. I know where all of the other bridesmaids are and have kept in on again/off again touch. Oh, well, too little to late for this friendship.

Note to the young: keep in touch while you can.

She was one of my bridesmaids and I was hers.
