Well, we are back on the doctor cycle again. Started off with a chilly walk. Chelsea seemed a bit tired. We went quite a way but she was not adverse to coming home a bit early.

We had to be at the Anti-coagulation Clinic at 9AM. Dick's count is a bit low but Sue said that is OK because of the surgery. If it is still down or lower next week she will adjust his thinners.

On the way home we stopped at Woodlake because they have more tea varieties that I like. I now have my Republic of Tea Green Pear. We also picked up some new rubber gloves for putting on the support stockings. I have worn out two pair now.

Then we went to the Plymouth City Hall to vote. Now I am hoping to see some results showing on the news as it is after 9 and results should be coming in. We filled up the gas tank on the way home too. SO Dick was a tired guy by the time we got home.

I spent the afternoon finishing stamping and filling the envelopes with seeds that are going into the gift bags. Now all I have to do is finish the book we are preparing. Kate dropped by this afternoon with two meals of soup - broccoli and 12 bean. They are a welcome treat.

Shortly after we got back we got an email from Michelle that Jim was in surgery. Later, she let us know that he came through with flying colors. The doctor was VERY pleased with what he was able to do. Then she asked me to feed Boots as she decided to stay with Jim. He is sleeping a lot. Michelle said Morphine Jim is funny. They will be home tomorrow sometime. I sat with Boots for a while tonight while Dancing with the Stars was on.

Now it is time to wind down for the night. Keep Jim in your prayers, once that morphine wears off I am sure he will be very uncomfortable. However, they are letting him eat semi soft foods, like eggs and mac and cheese.

Take care


Mary
