We got up at 7:30 and did the pet stuff. Then we put Devon in the truck and drove to the vet. Of course he was acting healthier today than yesterday.
The vet examined him and said that there isn't anything obviously wrong, but what we describe might be an infection. He gave us some antibiotics.
The eye place called. I have the second surgery on Monday.
On the way home we stopped at UPS to return the gate opener and CVS for drugs. When we got home I packed up the calendar for John and Patty by making a "box" out of old cardboard. Then I took a bunch of stuff to the garbage and recycle. Then it was time to go out to do stuff. The new keypad setup looked time consuming, so I started with the truck.
I put the new cargo bar in the truck bed and used it to secure the plastic bins I used in the old truck. Then I strung the ratchet straps along the bedsides. John came out to see what I was doing. The bed cover rolled up hard, so I decided to adjust it. We both guessed at what was wrong, but after some messing around it was apparent that we were wrong. I remembered that we'd left out two shims that the instructions had specified. We put them in and now the bed cover works great.
At that point it was time to take Ellen to the oncologist. The parking lot was completely full. So were all of the side streets. I left her off and spent a bunch of time looking for a place. I couldn't find one and ended up parking in a lot on the other side of the freeway. I asked her to talk to the doctor about Hooch.
She called after an hour and a half. I picked her up. She said the oncologist said lymphoma was his favorite cancer to treat. That sounds encouraging. We stopped at Central Market on the way home. We bought steak, pork, shrimp, and baked goods.
When we got home I had Ellen text Hooch about what the doctor had said. John and Melissa came over and we talked until dinner. Ellen fixed Bison burgers on the Traeger.
After dinner John and I watched TV. When he and Melissa left it was surfing until bedtime.
