We checked out of Extended Stay America at 5:30 a.m. James drove the truck to the hospital parking lot and we parked on the jackrabbit level and walked over to St. Joseph's hospital. They validated his parking when James checked in as a patient.
We took the elevator to the third floor and walked the long hallway down to the endoscopy section. There was one other couple there. I met them and found out they live in Overgaard and formerly lived in Chandler.
It was around 7:30 before the endoscopy office was officially open.
James got checked in and I went back to sit with him before his procedure. Dr. Redimasu came in and explained that they would put a scope down his throat and look for any signs of recurring cancer.
When they came and took James I went downstairs to get a drink and something to eat at the Starbucks. The line was about ten people deep. I should have gone to the cafeteria instead but I didn't. I got a pink drink which says it is coconut milk and strawberries and egg whites with peppers. I went out on the patio to eat, never looking at my phone. After eating I went back upstairs and checked at the endoscopy desk to see if James was out of surgery. He was. He was in the recovery room and the girl at the desk told me they would call me back when he was awake, which she did. I guess she had tried to call me earlier when I was at Starbucks but I didn't answer.
When I got back to recovery James wanted to leave to go home. The nurse told him he had to wait 30 minutes. I'm glad we waited because Dr. Redimasu came in again and talked to us. He said everything looked clean. He did do a biopsy and they won't have the results for a few days.
I went down to get the truck. James was wheeled downstairs and waiting for me when I got to the "circle" in front of the hospital. He got in and we headed for the hills. It was 9:30 in the morning and he was starving having not eaten since yesterday morning. We looked up a Whataburger on McDowell Rd. and did the drive through. I got a Whopper Jr. and James got a Whopper.
We went home the Payson way. We finished our audio book"The Kiss of a Stranger" and started "Hearts of Briarwall."
We arrived home early in the afternoon before Brian returned. Kim had almost finished the 60's puzzle which has 1500 pieces. Jared Ammon had cleaned off the deck which is almost finished except for the pieces that butt up against the log support posts.
Jared Ammon went on a Razr ride looking for a bear. Instead he got caught in a rainstorm and came back soaking wet.
When Brian got here he and Kim watched, "Wedding Planner Mystery" starring Erica Durance and Andrew Walker.
James and I went to be around 10.
60's puzzle is finished!
