Surgery

Oct 12, 2019

After breakfast Debbie called the hospital to check on Ann.  She was told that she had gone into surgery this morning.  We decided that we would visit her later after she was out of surgery. The time we had, would allow us to go vote and do some shopping for warmer clothes. Voting from out of province was simpler than we expected.  We found an advance voting station and showed our picture ID, they showed us the list of candidates running in our riding and we made our choice. We wrote down our choice on a ballot and sealed it in an envelope and its now on its way to Ottawa.

Debbie wanted to buy a digital antenna for our TV in our trailer.  We found one at Best Buy, which was going to work for our TV.  After finding some flannel shirts at WalMart, it was time to go and see Ann.

She was still heavily sedated but we could see that she was in far less pain then when we saw her last.  She slowly became more lucid and we were able to talk to her.  She was experiencing a pain in her left leg.  It was becoming very swollen and turning blue. Her nurses were concerned and were doing everything they could to give her relief.  We felt it was time for us to leave and let the nurses do their work.

We returned to the trailer.  Debbie made supper and we tried out the digital antennae.  We are now able to receive two channels, CTV and CBC. We watched a movie and went to bed.
