I woke up at nine o’clock. Alex was already up and having breakfast. He still has a bad cough and cold, I gave him some more cough medicine then I had my breakfast and had a shower.
Mom phoned while I was in the shower. I phoned her back and she said she was going back up to the hospital later in the afternoon. It seemed to me that she wanted to go with me, so I asked her if she would like me to pick her up or if she would rather go by herself. She said if I was going to go later in the afternoon that would be fine. I told her it didn’t matter to me when I went. Actually I thought if would be better to go later on as Charlie had planned to go there around noon. I told Mom I would pick her up and then asked what time she would like to go, Mom said three o’clock would be fine.
Patrick came over around eleven o’clock but I told Alex he couldn’t play with anyone today as he has a cold. When Alex went down to the door he got mad, he said he couldn’t play and slammed the door. I told him to open the door and I told Patrick that Alex had a cold and couldn’t play. Alex sure was mad at me but he just isn’t up to playing with the other kids, he needs to rest.
I tided up the house and vacuumed then I had lunch. Joan phoned to ask about Dad so I told her that he would be having surgery. There really wasn’t a great deal for me to tell her as Dad was having tests today.
Alex and I left for the library after two o’clock then we went to pick Mom up. Mom said that Dad was to have surgery at eight o’clock tonight. They sure don’t fool around.
I told Mom that Charlie had phoned and that Dad wasn’t in his room that they had taken him down for tests at eleven thirty and that he would be back at one thirty.
We got to the hospital after three o’clock, closer to four o’clock. We had quite the time finding his room, when we got upstairs we couldn’t remember which room Dad was in since we had gone to the gift shop before going to his room. Mom asked the nurse which room Dad was in but she told us that he was down having an ultra sound. We went into his room anyways and Jeff was there fast asleep.
Jeff said he just got there when they had to take Dad down for the ultra sound. He said that Charlie went down with them and then left. Jeff said it was twenty minutes ago that Dad went down. Jeff left shortly afterwards, he said he had to get back to work.
Dad came back up and he looks good considering what’s wrong with him. He said that his leg is still quite painful. Last night he said that the nurse gave him morphine three times before it finally took. We stayed for an hour then we went for dinner. Someone came to shave him so we figured that was a good time for us to go.
We went to a small restaurant on tenth, a English restaurant which was really quite good. We got back at seven o’clock, Dad was glad to see us. He looked nervous about the operation, he kept on asking what time it was.
We left at eight o’clock, they hadn’t brought Dad down for his operation when we left. The nurse said she didn’t know when he would be going down.
We took Mom home, she talked a great deal on the way home. It’s such an upsetting time, she needs to talk get her feelings out.
Alex fell asleep on the way home so I couldn’t go in, I made sure though that Mom was okay. We came home and wouldn’t you know it Alex woke up. I got him ready for bed but he didn’t go to sleep until after Charlie got home. I went to bed at eleven thirty and Alex had come into bed with me but Charlie sent him to his own bed.
