Monday, 11/3/25, went to Orthopedic dr., went to Maddy’s, then to Tim Hortons, then to my house. Cool, windy day. More knitting in the evening

Maddy and I at Tim Hortons this morning.  We thought we would sit by the fireplace.  Then we found out it wasn’t giving off any heat.  We were sitting under a row of really bright lights.  

I got up at 6 and took my shower and got ready.  I put on some good Phil Wickham worship music on and then had time to read part of my Bible before leaving for my appt.  Bill drove me.  We went the expressway, then got caught in lots of traffic when we got off and three lanes of traffic went down to 2.  Bill zoomed in the empty lane that no one was in because the sign said to get over.  We went past a lot of cars and then a nice person let us in.  We would have probably been a little late if he hadn’t done that even though I didn’t like it.  I didn’t say anything though because I knew he was doing it for me.  

He let me off at the entrance and he parked the Jeep.  I made it and had 10 minutes to spare.

I had checked in online so nothing to do but tell her my name.  My doctor is young and looks like Doogie Houser.  He was really nice and was thorough.  I am scheduled for surgery the day before Thanksgiving.  Glad we celebrate the Saturday before.  Pastor told me he was praying for me for my surgery yesterday at church, so I let him know when it was scheduled.  The he wanted to know where.  I am sure thankful for everyone’s prayers.  

After we left, Bill took me and dropped me off at Maddy’s.  I went in and got hugs from both of the kiddos.  They are so sweet and cute.  I forgot to get a picture.  I told Alec hi, then Maddy and I left and she drove us to Tim Horton’s.  She had a bagel and cream cheese and I had a breakfast sandwich.  We both had Ice coffee’s.  Mine was an Ice Capp.  We had a fun time visiting and enjoying our food.  We went and walked around the Home Goods store after that.  We just looked and didn’t buy anything.  She bought me home then and came in for a little while.  I moved to the Lazy Boy Recliner to stretch out my leg and before she left for home, she came and got a blanket and put it over me so I could settle in for a nap.  She is very kindhearted.  She left an I ended up moving in by Bill and relaxing, but couldn’t sleep.  I read my Bible instead and my daily prayer and scripture books.  Then I started knitting again.  I’ve got a new color, so I’m anxious to see what it looks like when it’s finished.

I washed some dishes that needed washing, cleaned out the refrigerator for garbage day tomorrow, and moved a few things around in the house.   I decided we will need to put our tree up on Saturday.  Don’t have to move much for that.  I’m excited to put it up. Especially since there are no lights to mess with.  This is going to be a year where I don’t put many other decorations out.  

I let the kids know about my surgery, and Hailey and Kenzie, our bother and sisters, and my Best friend, plus some friends from church.  I heard back from everyone right away, saying they were praying and many offering to help with what I need.  So blessed with amazing family.  

Bill came home from his dentist and then foot doctor appointments.  He came hime with two really nice pairs of shoes from his foot doctor appt.  

I worked on my blog and then did more knitting.
