I was up at 2:42 this morning. I wonder how much longer I can do this.
Sheri texted me this morning. Max passed his National EMT test today. Hurray! Good job Max!
James and I felt for Springerville at 9:45 this morning. James has surgery on his left hand middle finger at noon. Amber, one of the surgical nurses had told us that we needed to be there at 10 but we got a text on my phone that said 10:40 so that's what we were shooting for. As we were waiting for road construction we got a call from Amber wondering where we were. By this time it was about 10:15. We explained to her what had happened and she said to just get there as soon as we safely could.
Amber told us that if we ever get another one of those automated texts to ignore it. Amber and Chelsea prepped James for surgery. Amber is LDS. She said her in-laws are going to serve a mission in the Phillipines in the same mission her husband served in and they are going to visit them. Chelsea was really cute and nice but I don't think she is LDS because she has a nose ring. I could be wrong though.
Dr. Oldham, the doctor who will be performing the surgery is friends with James's other orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Ellsworth who gave him the cortisone shot in his other hand and did surgery on his thumb a couple of years ago, Dr. Oldham is in our stake and we found out that he also practices in Show Low and we could have gone there for the surgery which would have been much more convenient.
They took James back a little before noon and before 12:30 Dr. Oldham (who is really quite young), came out to speak with me and tell me that the surgery went well and that the nurses should be coming out to get me anytime.
We left the hospital around 1. We went to McDonald's for lunch and I was shocked how much it cost. We either need to look for their "deals" or never come back. Four chicken nuggets was $5.49.
Since we are leaving for Texas early in the morning James wanted to go to Safeway and get some snacks to eat on the road. He got some crackers and I got some cheese and lunchmeat. We got home around 2:40.
One of the nurses asked us what our pharmacy was and we said the Walmart in Show Low. We got a call from Western Drug in Springerville saying James's prescription was ready. It was too late for us to go back and pick it up there and it was after hours for the doctors so I guess we will have to see if we can do anything tomorrow while we are on the road. The Walmart in Show Low never received it.
James waters to flowers and yard and even washed the car. We went through a carwash in Eagar but it was lame and really didn't do anything. He is doing so much and the nurse told him to go home and watch a movie and relax. Ha! No chance.
Tom took a nap on my lap for one hour and then I made him get up. I walked and started packing and getting ready for our trip. James wants to leave at 4 am. We shall see.
I made some spinach for dinner and then did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen and started the dishwasher. I also finished the laundry. We were in bed before 9.

Let them repent of all their sins, and of all their covetous desires, before me, saith the Lord; for what is property unto me? saith the Lord.
