Happy to be getting off onto our exit.  Lots of Detroit traffic so many slow downs.  It was 8:20 a.m. and our appointment was at 8:30.

Arriving at the VA Hospital

Always love walking through Great Lakes Crossing in Auburn Hills.  You know what that means!

Yummy cinnabons!

Such a nice time here

Saw our friend at the Rainforest Cafe.

We got up at 4:30 and got ready to go to Bill's appt. in Detroit.  On the road by 6.  Stopped at Tim Hortons for a french vanilla cap. and banana nut muffins.  We got caught in lots of traffic slowdowns, but made it just in time to his appointment.  Got right into the doctor and saw the physician's assistant first, then Dr. PJ second.  That's what the nurse told us they call him as we always have a hard time remembering his name, Pierre Jacques.   No trouble remembering PJ ha ha.  We really liked both of them.  They were caring and seem to have lots of wisdom.  Bill has to have blood work since the dr. saw a spot where the bone looked like it was deteriorating.  He said it could be infection.  If so they will have to do surgery, put a spacer in, wait two months for the antibiotic to clear the infection up, then they will have to do knee replacement surgery again.  We sure are praying there's no infection and for healing of the pain in his knee.  He got in right away in Xray.  Then we walked through the VA store and looked around.  Headed for the lab next.  It was very busy, but time passed quickly.  A guy asked if he could sit in the chair next to me so I told him ok.  We started talking and he told me he was a miracle and he shouldn't have made it two years ago.  I told him we had lots of miracles in our family too.  He told me he was autistic also.  I told him he was pretty outgoing for being autistic and he said he put phones in for people so he had to learn to be outgoing.  He was talking to everyone around him.  I asked him if he believed in Jesus as his savior.  He said their were many good teachers.
I told him the Bible says there is only one way to get to heaven and it was by believing in Jesus as your savior.  He said when he sees Jehovah Witnesses he always thanks them for their time and effort.  Maybe that is what he was.  We had to leave shortly after that.  Praying for him now.  We left and decided to go to Great Lakes Crossing.  Had a nice time walking through there and enjoyed their cinnabons.  YUMMY!!!  Picked some up to surprise Vikki as we know how much she loves them and we knew we would be going right by her house.  She was pretty happy which made us happy.    We stopped in Bridgeport to eat at a Cracker Barrel too.  More Yummy food.  When we got home Bill burned the stuff in the garden  and I balanced the checkbook.
