Matt's Surgery

THURSDAY

We took dogs off to the park after having lattes & breakfast sandwiches. Ranger in park stopped to say hello to dogs. Megan was really nice and not mean like the other rangers. Hubby had purchased a park pass yesterday, so we are "legal" for the year now!

When we returned home, I changed clothes & we packed everything into Bark Ark along with all the dogs & drove to M&K's.

Dropped off parts in Hayden first, then picked Matt up at home. We left all dogs there but Ben. He cannot be trusted alone yet.

Took Matt to hospital & dropped him off at 11:00. We should have stayed with him because he did not get into surgery until 1:00PM.

We then did some errands. All the Rapid Refills in Spokane, WA are out of business. No place to turn in our printer ink.

Then we went to Costco to get gasoline. Picked up burgers for dogs. Hubby got chix sandwich. Returned back home to pick up dogs & Bravo then met KRN at Spokane Dog Park.

While at KRN's home, we put away her laundry & dishes to try to help.

Dogs had lots of fun playing for a while until some lady brought in her two dogs, a beagle & a cocker spaniel mix. Then the most unusual thing happened, the two dogs fought with Ben who was minding his own business. After that, BUD (who never fights with dogs & loves everybody) got into a fight with them & would not leave them alone.

So we left.

Took KRN back home. Hubby stayed home while I went with KRN at 3:30 to pick up Matt. We still had not gotten a call from the surgery to get him, but the surgery was only supposed to last 1.5 to 2 hours.

When we checked in, the receptionist told us to go to an empty waiting room. We stayed there for another 1.5 hours. Around 4:30, KRN went to ask about Matt and were told we were waiting in the wrong place & they had tried to call KRN. What liars. Doctor did not talk to KRN. He talked to a doped up Matt who could not make sense of what was said. Stupid doctor.

Finally found Matt at 5:00PM. KRN helped him get dressed and then went to get car. Nurse gave the check out papers & of course, the pharmacy was closed by 5PM. Matt was wheeled down to the pick up area & KRN brought car around. Then she drove us back to her home.

When we got back, hubby & I went to Walmart to get prescription painkillers for Matt. Took over 45 minutes to get pills filled. Most boring time at Walmart ever. Hubby got some deli chicken because he was hungry. We got pink apples.

Took drugs back to kids, then hubby had a little of KRN's dinner. We drove home after that. Dogs were anxious to leave. All of them but Maggie. We almost mistakenly left her behind on the couch! LOL.

Unloaded everybody at home & cleaned up. Watched new season premier of ARCHER. Then went to bed.

Hubby came home later. Stopped to get some milk at the grocery. He went down to shop for 1 hour, then came home.

Went to bed early.
