Wait time too long 03.23.2022

            I guess the title line says it best, and in fact, waiting was basically all I did yesterday. My favorite wife had two appointments yesterday for two scans, one was an MRI and the other was a CT scan. They basically look inside you to see what is going on.

            The first appointment was for 2:45pm. We sat around here at the house with nothing much to do, most of the day. I was allowed to get out and take the kids to school, and that was the total of my venturing forth.

            We arrived at the hospital a few minutes before the appointment time. We sat there waiting and when they took her back for the first scan, they were 15 minutes later than the appointment time.

            She returned to the waiting room and we sat there for another half hour, which was way past the scheduled appointment time. Finally, they took her back for the MRI, which took 55 minutes.

            Now we wait and see what the doctor sees on the scans. If surgery is needed, it will be two days after our 53rd anniversary, which is April 5th. The surgery would be April 7th, and this is the third time the surgery has been scheduled.

            First time canceled due to the virus, no room in the hospital (July 2021).

            Second time canceled due to one of the doctors not meeting with us prior to surgery.

            Third time

 

            Leaving the hospital yesterday, we decided to get a couple fish sandwiches on the way home. The last time we got a couple of these sandwiches they were actually good, yesterday they were not so good.

            Today, who knows, maybe I will do something productive, maybe not. The yards front and back are starting to look greener, I need to change the oil in the mowers, and I can’t forget the generator. Wow, too much work for an ole senior person. The ½ inch rain we got during the storms has helped, but we need one of those ole Missouri rains, you know, they are slow and last all day.

            I do plan on stopping at the other Mexican food place and getting my burrito this morning, after dropping the kids off at school, you know change can be good.

            Well, I guess that is it for today, so we hope you have a good one, whatever it is!

Bacon, egg and cheese burrito!
