3rd Week in April 2016

On Tuesday, we went to an appointment with my surgeon, Dr. Jon Browne - pre-surgery visit.  It was a very good appointment.  On Wednesday, I went to Bible Study, then Susan Mosley took me out to lunch pre-surgery and gave me a very lovely card and a gift certificate for a massage at the spa post-surgery.

On Friday, I went to several garage sales.

On Saturday, we went to Overland Park for Garrison's soccer match.  Afterward, we all went to lunch at Blue Moose and had a great time.  Grandpa was in charge of naps for himself, Peyton and Garrison - Chad had to go to work for a few hours - Amanda and I went to Kohl's and Costsco.  Later, we helped Peyton learn to run into a rope we were turning for jump rope, and Garrison blew bubbles and had fun helping Mommy sweep the sidewalk and driveway.

On Sunday, I played the gathering music at church and during the service with Sam - we decorated graves for Memorial Day a little early because of my surgery - and we went to Supper Club and had a great time and delicious food, baby back ribs, etc.

My total knee replacement surgery will be Wednesday, 4/27/16 at the Kansas City Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Hospital in Leawood, KS.  We are going to KC on Tuesday for an x-ray and then will pick up the kids from school, take them to dinner, take Peyton to dance, and will spend the night at Amanda's before my surgery the next day.
