Surgery This Morning

Yesterday
I got the watering done at the greenhouse and in the back yard.  Carol took care of the dogs that she is baby sitting or should I say dog sitting.

When she got back we picked the tomatoes.  There is not as many this time because day light is nearly two hours less even though the days have been in the low 80's.  In spite of this were able to get nearly two bushels of tomatoes.  We picked these for Lisa who for the first time is putting the in the bottle.  We then picked beans.  Here we got two, 2 1/2 buckets full.  We gave these away.

It was nearly eleven this morning when we left Holden to meet up with her to transfer the garden goodies.  Carol called her a little earlier and she reported that she was really busy and indicated that it would be difficult for her to meet us.  We decided to deliver them to her house.  I called her and told her what we had planned.  The traffic moderately heavy, but we made it with out any difficulty.  The used to have a road split, this time there was not a split.  The concrete company has a huge gravel pit at the point of the mountain.  The have mixing machine that makes the concrete which is loaded on a conveyer belt that dumps it into a container which is loaded in a truck which takes it a section of road being built.  The procedure surely save a lot of time, whereby, trucks don't have to leave freeway and then return loaded.

We stopped at Sam's Club in Provo.  I bought a blue tooth device that is worn around the neck with ear buds for music and telephone conversations.  I wanted it to transmitted voice to my iPhone videos.  I did not do that.  I returned all the parts and receipts hoping for a refund.  After answering a few questions as to why I retuned it.  He credit the amount to my credit.  Thanks Sam's Club.

Our next stop was at the Red Barn where we got some ice cream.  Mine lasted quite away past Nephi.

Today
I had my hernia operation.  I did not eat anything after ten last night.  This morning I read a chapter in the Book of Mormon.  The chores had to be done early.  I watered the nursery, watered, and fertilized the pots and tubes in front of the house. 

We entered the hospital in Fillmore and they were waiting for us.  All my vitals were recorded.  There were a lot of papers to sign which took quite a while.  They gave me a gown to put on.  I then made a trip to the bathroom.  Next was the electro cardiograph, Interesting when read was better than the one I had about five years ago.  I was then hooked up to the IV where I received medication and anesthesia.  More questions were asked by the doctor and anesthesiologist.  Then I came back in about an hour.  I was a little dopy but soon went home.  Carol has been taking care of me until I went to bed.
