Patching Don.

The picture on the blog tonight is the man of the day, everyday! This morning we went to the eye doctor in Lawton and he verified that his eye was blurry because of the haze that sometime develops after cataract surgery. They removed it with a simple procedure in the office today. He had to have both eyes dilated for the exam and procedure, so he had to put up with me driving after that. The dermatologist’s office is in the next building, so we went there after he had his eye done and asked if they had any cancellations today so that he could see the doctor this afternoon. Sure enough, they saw him right after lunch and the doctor removed a cyst from his back. We were so pleased to get both of those things fixed today.

He has a bandage on his back and we’ll clean it twice a day for two weeks. Then we’ll be gone to Tennessee, so I’ll remove the stitches (2). I’ve done that before when he had a cyst removed from his back. We take turns doctoring each other.

This morning we walked to town to have breakfast at the Kozy Diner; then we walked home. This was his first day to walk and he did really well. That blood blister is a lot better. It’s still visible, but it’s not puffy or sore. We thank God for taking care of us and for giving us the strength and energy to heal.

Daniel left tonight after church for a week of a campaign with his church at home. He’s had this planned for some time. He’s going somewhere in Texas; we’ll miss him.

We are exhausted from our day of driving and procedures, but we are fine. Don is already in bed and I’m going there just as soon as I get this posted. Thank you for keeping up with us.
