False Alarm! Reset!

We were up in the middle of the night, getting ready to go!

We got up at the crack of dawn,   4:00 am, to get ready for the surgery center.  Irene joined us at 5:00 am, and we left at 6:00 am.  The freeway was already full, but we made good time, arriving at 6:40 am.  Irene did not want Mary waiting alone while the procedure was underway, she is a sweetheart!

We checked in, and I went to the preparation room and got into my gown.  They wired me up, took the vitals, and I waited.  As the nurse was shaving my arm, she noticed I had a scab over the place where the operation was going to be performed.

She called the doctor, and he looked at it, shook his head, and canceled the surgery! He was afraid of an infection; better safe than sorry!

Hook me up, baby!!

Darn the luck; now we have to wait two more weeks.

What else was there to do except go to Benji’s in Tustin for breakfast?  The three of us had a delightful breakfast.  I ordered the “Deli Omelet” thinking it would be small; WRONG, it was the size of Catalina!

The Deli Omelette at Benji’s was humungous!

We came home and worked in the office until 5:00 pm, when we called Colleen.  She was busy with the inlaws, so we visited for just a few minutes.

Mary created dinner using a leftover chicken pot pie with two pounds of chicken added.  We put the frozen food into the microwave for 15 minutes and then added a package of shredded chicken with the unfrozen chicken pot pie into a large bowl.  Into the new air fryer at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, and we were ready to go.

It was so very good I went back for more!!

Being a creative person, she did not leave well enough alone. She added a bag of small potatoes to the mix. Dinner was ready, and it was outstanding.

We watched the last movie Burt Reynolds made before going to bed.  I hit the sack at 8:30 pm because I was up half the night preparing for the non-surgery!

Good night all!!
