A round-trip to Corpus

 

A visit to Judy’s hand doctor.  He agrees her left thumb is shot and it’s time for surgery.  While he’s in there he’ll take care of the carpal tunnel issue and an early trigger finger (didn’t even know that was an issue).  We’re scheduled for dark and early Wednesday morning.  Yeaa.  It will be a slow painful recovery, but it’s good to get started on the process.  I’ll be Judy’s left hand until she can use her own again.

 

We’ll drive up the night before (tomorrow) and stay in a hotel.  We couldn’t get very close to the hospital.  All the rooms in Corpus are taken up with Hurricane Harvey evacuees and crews showing up to work on the restoration of Rockport, Fulton, Ingleside, Port Aransas, and so on, and on.  We’ve got a room in Robstown, about a half hour away from the hospital.  We’ll only have to get up at 5am for a 6am appointment instead of 2am to get there from the Rio Grande Valley.

 

Once we got Judy squared away today, we still had time for a follow-up appointment we had scheduled for my neck.  Everything looks just right.  I think the doctor said I was awesome (or words to that effect).  J

 

Back home in time to watch the Broncos tonight, we’ll be up north again tomorrow night (Tuesday), and with any luck, home recuperating the following night (Wednesday).

 

Henry got a play-day all day with Stanley and Dona today.  Tomorrow night he gets a sleep-over!  Thank you very much Stanley and Dona.
