And Still Waiting........

Hello Folks,

Ivan saw his doctor yesterday and is pleased he can remove the catheter Friday morning so he can get back to his swimming routine. Dr. Wildgrube called Dr. Goddard's office (the surgeon). We have only one surgeon locally and only one operating room.

Ivan was told it is in the hospital's hands, and they will call him as soon as they can fit him in.  My guess is (hopefully) it will be next week. They just need to call us a day before so he doesn't eat supper or breakfast.

Ivan is not in any pain and is reasonably active. We harvested lots of beans and peas for supper.

He seems more relaxed about the wait than I am. I was hoping he would be on the recovery path by now but "to accept what is" seems to be the best approach and it is great that the procedure will be done locally and is free!!!
