James's umbilical hernia surgery was scheduled today for 7 am. The instructions said we needed to be at the hospital by 5 am. We got there and checked in only to find out that the surgery had been postponed until 8:30. We complained and Dr. Flam did apologize and say his office should have called us. It was 9 am when they finally took James back. As they were rolling him down the hall I took one last look at him and feelings of love swept over me. I don't know what I would do if something happened to him. I depend on him so much.
I went downstairs to the cafeteria (Chandler Regional Medical Center), and got a breakfast burrito and a diet Dr. Pepper, and then headed back to the outpatient surgical waiting room. The big news of the day on the TV is that President Obama is going to be in Chandler today to give a speech at Intel.
James's surgery went well and we left the hospital a little after noon. We went straight home and after getting James settled I went to Walgreen's to drop off his prescription for pain meds and then I went home and took a nap with him. This afternoon when I went back to pick up the prescription I noticed they were blocking the entrances to the 202 so the Presidential motorcade could pass. Later I went to pick up hot and sour soup for dinner just before they blocked the freeway off again.
This evening I did Relief Society visits with Drea Boles. We visited 3 "new" sisters: Ina Sanchez, Nicole Chadwick, and Tippi Lawter. They were all good visits and I'm so glad we went! Adrienne is home resting and Diana is out of town. Adrienne has a bad cough.
While I was gone Darrel and Trina came by and brought James and I mango, pineapple smoothies from McDonald's. How thoughtful!!
