What a day. We left home at 1 pm today for a 3:45 appointment with Dr. Cooper in Spokane to have the final three drain tubes removed. Timed it perfectly, pulling into the parking lot at 3:40, got into see the doc in about five minutes. He looked over the tubes and said he was going to err on the side of caution and pulled two of the three, leaving one for later removal. I guess we were just a little too anxious to get rid of those damned things!
A few minutes later we left the doc's office wondering what to do with ourselves. We weren't hungry. We had no plans. We didn't, after two hours on the road for a fifteen minute appointment, want to get back on the road and drive another two hours. So we went down the Riverfront Park and walked around a bit. Once we had talked enough about food, we went to a restaurant (Cyrus O'Learys) and split a huge plate of really good nachos; then drove back to the Tri-Cities.
We got back about 7 pm, drove over to Brooke's to get our dog, Aggie, visit with the grand-babies, who we haven't seen much of for the past week, and came home.
Probably on Monday we'll go get the last drain tube removed. Meanwhile, Lois continues to grow in strength and stamina. She looks pretty good sitting here in front of those petunias in front of Spokane's Clock Tower, doncha think?
