Looking up!

Josephine, Sharon and Celine after the Great Extraction!

The nurses have just left after removing Sharon's staples! (not her marbles!) The incision looks great and it appears that the crisis of yesterday has passed! That's probably the best news of late! The bleeding or drainage was either a small pocket that had to relieve itself (a MEDICAL term!) or the tight staple had torn a slight bit and caused a bit of bleeding! That's a big Thank You!

With this crisis relieved, and the apparent hazard out of the way, Dr Emerson will likely give the go ahead to make a run fpr the border! (Well, at least to Nashville! That's beyond the border of the Great Republic of Texas!) We're not sure of our routing yet. We want to miss the stretch of I-40 east of Little Rock. It's rough and will be a very uncomfortable ride for her.

As we sit here, it feels like someone put a quarter in the vibrating bed! The hotel laundry room is directly below our living room and when they wash a big load of towels or something heavy, the whole room vibrates like a, well, a large vibrator when the washer goes into spin cycle! It's even better than a cell phone in your pocket! [:D]

Our major efforts now will be in preping to depart! This will give plenty of time to get Geovanii ready for the road and that sort of thing without a big rush!

Cheers!

Joe
