Hi Ho Hi Ho Off to surgery we go.

Hi Ho!  Hi Ho! Its Off To Surgery We Go!

It is about 8:45AM, Wednesday,  February 1, 2006, and in about an hour we will be leaving for the Sterling Ridge Day Surgery Center.  There, Dr. Jerry Hyatt will attempt to repair my torn rotator cuff via arthroscopic surgery.    This is the same surgery Joyce had before her trip to visit Nancy last fall.  When she had it, it was minor surgery.  When I have it, it will be Major.  I once read there is no minor surgery, only minor surgeons.  Dr. Hyatt has replaced both Joyce’s knees and repaired her shoulder, so I guess we can concede he is no minor surgeon, but listen to this…He is afraid of needles!!

I would imagine we will be home around 5 or 6 tonight.  The surgery center is about 20 to 25 miles from here.  I am hungry now since I couldn’t have anything to drink after midnight and I was asleep at midnight.  I will need to stop at What-A-Burger on the way home.

Right now, it is my plan to go back to work on Feb. 12.  I would like to not have to go back but we can use the cash.

You guys take care.  I love all of you and so ask for your prayers.
