Off to See the Wizard!

 Off to See the Wizard!

 

Jennifer took the old woman up to Dr. Kern’s office this morning. One of the nurses asked some kind of a question about one or both, and the first thing that came to my wobbly mind was the knee surgery, so she was told, “Just the right knee, and it works like a charm!” Apparently, that is NOT what the question concerned. She wanted to know if this pain was on both sides. All that connected with my beady brain was the phrase “both sides.” Pointed at the right knee and said it worked like a champ! Oh well.

 

Anyway, tomorrow is blood work and more paperwork, and then NEXT Tuesday will be the surgery. Dr. Kern will let me know when to be at URHC that day. We should be home the same day because he explained that a piece of bone has splintered off and is poking the nerve from above the last surgery site. How’s that for making life interesting?

 

Jennifer is working from “home” at my kitchen table. If all goes well, she can go home sometime next week after we get me settled down with these two crazy dogs. They have been having barking fits ever since we got home earlier. Not sure just what they think they are scaring off, but it should be sufficiently warned by now.

 

This is going to be a short blog. Jenn put din-upper on to cook in that new pot she got for me. Then we will also have some of her friend’s Chinese food that she made for us to eat while Jenn is here. Sheila is a fantastic cook! Her mom and grandmother were good at making this stuff as well, so it’s not like we have to guess if the food will be tasty!

 

Will attempt to let Sterling and a few others know about this upcoming surgery, but if you read the blog, you know that we trust that God has this in His hands. Meanwhile, please pray for Raye (granddaughter of Diann Dennis), Tami Yonts—head waitress at Pioneer on Maplewood for many years, and those in England who have been assaulted by winds in 100+ mph. Life can really be tough sometimes.

 

Let us be loving towards others and give them the kindness we would need in our own lives.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
