Surgery Went Well

I was at the hospital this morning at 5:30. My Mother-in-law's surgery began around 7:30 or so and went really well. She was out in 45 minutes. Her time in recovery was longer than that. She had a bit of an upset stomach for a while, but that passed and she should be able to come home tomorrow. Thank you all for praying and please continue to pray for a speedy recovery as she will be down for six weeks.

I was going to read some of The Englisher while Bruce's Aunt Sue and I waited during the surgery, but I had grabbed the wrong book in the dark and ended up taking The Preacher's Daughter. So I decided to skim through it and read different paragraphs. Some of them were really funny and some of them were sad. I think I skimmed through about 11 chapters. It was kind of fun and it did help pass the time quickly.

My Dad came to pick Hannah up to spend the weekend with him and Mom. They're taking her shopping tomorrow and she's really looking forward to that. He asked if we would like to go to McDonald's for some lunch so we took him up on his offer and then he changed his mind and said he wanted a corndog from a local owned restaurant called Angelo's. Since we were near the church anyway and Angelo's doesn't have dine-in, Daddy suggested we go see Mrs. Janet at the church and all of us ate lunch with her in her office. We had some real belly laughter there today. It was so funny. What was funny? Everything! I don't think there was a serious moment while we were there. But if you know my Dad, you don't expect anything otherwise. Well, there was ONE serious moment. Just as we walked in, Janet told us about her cousin that just started nursing school this week. She was in a wreck and totaled her car just before we got to the church. But thankfully, she was OK. We went to see her after we left the church and she was more shook up than anything. Her wrist looked pretty bad and I have a feeling that even though it is NOT broke, it is certainly going to be sore tomorrow. I'm glad it wasn't worse than it was.

We picked up our car and ended up paying $20 for the work that was done on it. We took it straightway to have it inspected, but the code had not reset yet and they couldn't inspect it. The gentleman told us to drive it around over the weekend and bring it back on Monday. By then the code should reset. Well, it did reset when Bruce drove it to the hospital to see his Mom and the Check Engine light came back on. SO! Bruce will run the code....again.... and see what else needs to be fixed. LOL We expected as much. It's been like this for three years now. Oh well. As with everything else, it is in the Lord's hands.
