88 Day Challenge, Day 31/88

The three starters for my day are all on tap.  Coffee, prayer, and reading have fueled me. 

Tomorrow is a big day for me.  I meet with Dr. Kurre Luber and will finally get this show on the road for repairing my knees.  I really have no idea what to expect. Everyone talks about knee replacement but there may be other treatments to start out which may help and I can avoid surgery.  So, stay tuned.  There will be a report on tomorrow's post or Thursday's.   

Dr. Luber's office is two hours away.  One of the downsides of living rural is having to drive for long distance for the best health care.  Since Dr. Luber is one of the top surgeons in his field and is well-known to us (we are friends with his parents), we decided the two hour drive to his satellite clinic in Hernando, Mississippi, was worth the trip.

But, it's pushing 11:00 a.m. and time to: 

cleaned up and dress DONE

set clothes out DONE

bag up meds DONE

sort/separate ironing DONE

Tossed some t-shirts DONE

3-hole punch and store more library board paperwork DONE

bag up medical i.d. DONE

Note prior hospital stays DONE

Confirm ch/in for tomorrow DONE

make spaghetti for tonight DONE

Start clearing out the secretary - well, that will wait for Thursday. 

And that ends that, except for one small thing.  Krista sent this picture today and it's clear that Matteo has got the whole big brother thing down with baby sister, Estella.  Along with cuddling, he also seems to be an expert bottle feeder and a burper.  All at 8 1/2 years of age.
