Monday, Oct. 12th

I am not a happy camper! I was working at the church today and received a phone call from Surgery Scheduling at Kaiser Hospital. They told me that an error in scheduling had been made and my scheduled surgery was re-scheduled for Nov. 25th. The was a problem with the surgeon and his voice mail. Over a month ago I had received a voice mail message from him that I could get scheduled for Oct. 21st. I immediately responded and got his voice mail. I told him “Absolutely! Schedule me for that Oct. 21st spot!”.. Apparently he didn’t get that message. In the meantime Surgery Scheduling phoned me to get things set up. I was all ready to go in next week and get this tumor removed from my head. The surgeon days he never received my voice mail and filled the slot with somebody else. So, now I get to wait another five weeks and spent Thanksgiving in the hospital recovering from the surgery. Wow! That makes me happy as a clam!

Bottom line is everything is now delayed for another month and I have the privilege of Thanksgiving dinner in a hospital room. I’m not real happy with it all, but as one dear friend of mine says, “It is what it is!”

We’re doing a lot of odd jobs around the church getting things repaired and updated. A fifty-year-old building offers some challenges to keep it running and usable. Bill Large and I have a good time working together and getting the various tasks done. It’s a good place to be if we’re going to have to stay in San Diego. Our plans will have to change a lot, but that’s the way it goes.

My Mother is moving to Santa Rosa on Nov. 1st, so this gives us a little more time to take care of getting her things packed and ready for the move. Dottie stays busy with the little jobs that are needed before the move. She and Mother have had some good times shopping together and today they visited the casino for a round of bingo games. Such is life in San Diego…
