Day 226

This is going to be a short post because I'm tired and want to go to bed.

I got up early this morning, did the morning chores, and went to the hospital.  I wanted to see the doctor.  Ellen had a blowout this morning.  She told me not to bring anything because the hospital was handling it.  When I got there there was no doctor and no nurse.  We waited a couple of houris with no response from anyone.  So I went home to get the stuff - a 60 mile round trip.

When I got back we started the change.  Her stitches were bleeding.  I was halfway through the change when the doctor came in.  He was mortified and wanted me to wait for a nurse.  I explained how we hadn't any luck there.  He left to go find one.  I continued.

The nurse showed up in a few minutes.  She didn't know much about the process, but helped.  We finally got it done.  No doctors for the rest of the day.

I ran the dog, she only did 13 retrieves because of the heat.  Then I went home.

Ellen says she's feeling better, but I'm still really worried.  Tomorrow I'll call her surgeon.
