Monday, 10/2/23, went with Charlie and Sue to U of M Hospital

Sue and Charlie looking at Coloring Books a girl gave us. She gave us crayons too!  They are neat coloring books.  I think Peyton will like mine

They just took Sue back to recovery.  Not many people left in the waiting room now!

We got ready, ate breakfast and drank our coffee, then waited for Charlie and Sue to pick us up.  It was in the 60’s when we got up, then got up to 80 degrees quickly .  Nice day for a ride and a nice visit along the way.  

We got to the right building easily and then sat in some comfy chairs and waited.  We had to be there 2 hours early.  That gave us time to pray for successful surgery with no complications.  There was an emergency surgery, then another surgery before Charlie’s, so our wait ended up being longer.  They took Charlie back to prep him for surgery at 3.  Bill, Sue and I went to the cafeteria and got yummy salads for lunch.  We passed a worker who offer Sue a wheelchair.  That sure helped her as she will be having knee surgery in November.  Vikki called and I talked to her for a while.  

Well because of complications with other patients, Charlie’s surgery didn’t start until 6.   We should have prayed for on schedule surgery lol.  At  7 we talked to the doctor and he said everything went well.  Waiting for him to get out of recovery which can take are up to 2 hours and then will finish this blog post.  Yay it is 7:55 and they just came and took back to recovery.  He’s awake now.  Thanking Jesus!!!  Charlie felt bad because we had to spend the whole day there, but we told him we didn't mind at all and that is what friends are for.  He would do the same for us.  

We had a peaceful ride home with the moon shining brightly and not a whole lot of traffic.  We got home around 11 p.m., read our Bibles, and went to bed at 12:30.
