Ken's got a surgery date

Yesterday morning (Monday) we got up and got our coffee's, computing and exercising done.  Then we got ready to pick up Joe and Rylee next door for breakfast at Dini's in town.  We invited them the night before since we knew Joe would be leaving for another 2 weeks of wild land firefighting.  We picked them up at 0830 and met up with Stacey's mom, Susan there too.  Stacey is working summer school in town so she's the only one not at breakfast.  We had some nice conversation and a great breakfast as always.  3 of us got their $2.99 special and Joe and Susan had their other special of scrambled eggs with ham on a biscuit and covered in homemade gravy...yumm and of course Joe sat right across from me making me drool...that's the one indulgence I have to wait till I can't stand it anymore and then i'll order a side. Tough being good.

After breakfast, we dropped Joe and Rylee at home and then headed to Gardnerville and Walmart.  We got out of there about 1245 and headed across the way to Ken's surgery appointment scheduled for 1320.  He had paperwork to fill out and he saw the Dr.  about 1330.  

He's got a surgery appoint for 1300 on the 25th of this month!  Dr. is going to take care of the hernia that's hurting him badly and will do the other one at a later date.  He could have done both, but his recommendation was to wait as the recovery would be really painful to both.  No problem.  We're just happy we don't have to wait months to get it done.  

So, once he was out we headed to Carson Valley Inn for a linner (combination lunch and dinner).  As always delicious and no food needed the rest of the day! 

Home and relaxing for the rest of the evening.  

We had thought about heading for Wildhorse Reservoir and checking it out, but because of the quick surgery date we decided against that for now.  When we go we'd like not to be in hurry and if we want to go somewhere else we can. 

Ken ordered some new boots from Cabela's so we may take the trailer to Washoe Lake State Park and stay a few days and get a few things done..one being picking up his boots.  Cabela's can be a dangerous store for Ken, so i'll have to get him there when his money is running low ...hahaha..

He's got some blood work and ekg for this morning so he'll into the little hospital in town and hopefully get that done.  

Woke up to a cooler morning which was nice but they'll still expecting 98 degrees this afternoon..uhhh..with winds.  

This was 4  years ago, we rode the gondola at Mammoth Mountain
Aaron and Jacob..it went to 13000 feet.  The boys loved it!

And just because he's so cute, Owen!
