Hello, I am back to begin updating Lindsay's progress tomorrow during and after surgery. Dr. Boll explained the procedure to us again today. It sounds like a much better process than the last surgery that is for sure. They have set aside roughly 3 hours to complete the surgery then 2 to 3 hours in the recovery room and then I get to take her home. Hopefully this time she will be able to sleep in our bed rather than sleeping in a recliner. Luckily Lindsay has time on her side she is not quite as old as me so I think she heals quicker than an old man like myself.

So much has happened in our lives since the surgery on May 27th. It seems like a lifetime ago. We have definitely found out how many wonderful people we have in our life. Those who will do the tough work, stay through the difficult times and still be there for the good times as well. Our thanks again go out to all of you that have done so many things for us and the thoughts and prayers along the way have helped us tremendously. Any text's, phone call's or e-mail's just saying that you are thinking about Lindsay have gone a long way in her recovery process. So thank you all again.

Grocery Stores

For some reason I must be obsessed with grocery stores, probably because I am in them constantly due to my line of work. Why is it that some register clerks feel the need to give you the play by play on all of your grocery selections when checking out? I was behind a lady the other day and she had a variety of things on the conveyor belt. The register clerk decided to point out to the entire store that she was buying apples, rice, toilet paper, and that her monthly bill had obviously arrived. He felt the need to say hmmmm it is going to be an interesting night. Isn't his job to just stand there, shut up and take her money?
