I was awake early to drive Bill to the hospital. Being the good wife that I am, I went into the garage to start the car and warm it up for him. (always the optimistic - he was wearing golf shorts) Pressed the garage button and heard a bang. Looks like we'll be needing some repairs to the garage door. It's seems to just be the wire off kilter - but who knows. So Bill had to hold the door up manually so I could back out. (I was a little nervous that I would be learning to drive the standard a little soon than I had anticipated). Then of course the garage door wouldn't shut all the way. So Bill had to get his keys and lock all his vehicles. But I'm thankful to say, I at least managed to get the door closed when I got home.
We spent the afternoon in Banff. Patrick drove us there (I think his confidence is what makes me nervous) and I drove home. We went to help celebrate Auntie Ming's 85 birthday. I haven't seen her in over a year (she had come to visit mom a year ago) and she has certainly aged a bit since then, but she did still pretty spry. Had a visit with family and then Patrick, Dad and I headed home. There were no messages from the hospital so I called. Seems everything went well, but the spinal freezing hadn't worn off yet; they want Bill to get some physio before he leaves so they will be keeping him overnight.
Another item off my 50 list. I had wanted to organize all our home videos onto CD's. Well I managed to do that last spring. Thanks to Anne and her fancy, dancy transferring machine. So I believe that is four things off my list - only 46 to go.
The cousins are over doing homework with Patrick, and they are actually doing it. Last time I checked Patrick was cooking up a hot dog stir fry - yum. I'm off to bed.Quote: " Getting out of the hospital is a lot like resigning from a book club. You're not out of it until the computer says you're out of it. " Erma Bombeck
