Final Check Up

We got up before the chickens so we could have breakfast and drive to Penticton for the final check up for my hip with the surgeon on Wednesday morning.

Why do they give you the first appointment of the day when a person needs to drive for an hour to get there? Go figure.

Anyway all is well, the x-rays looked good and he is happy.

I have a little bursitis on the outside of the leg, at the joint, but nothing serious. That is the reason for the pain once in awhile. Now I have to have it x-rayed and checked out every two years unless I have a problem in the meantime.

Then we went to Rose and Colin's. Got a little lost trying to find the Cherry Lane Mall. Just turned the wrong way, that's all. It's been a long time since I lived there and it has grown some. Their apartment is very nice, but Rose misses her garden and the view.

Craig did some things they needed on the computer, then we took them for lunch. They are both fine. Rose has been suffering with her back lately though. They are looking forward to going south to check out their new location.

Yesterday was seven months since I broke my hip. Time waits for no one. The day started off good, but got crappier (literally) as it went on. Not a feel good day. Feeling good today though.

The neighbor at the back of us had the big fir tree in their front yard cut down. Guess he didn't like the mess. They were almost done before we clued in to take a picture.
