It has been a different kind of a day.

At eight this morning I dropped off one of the travel trailers at the shop. It has been selected as the trailer we will take to the family reunion at Brownwood this weekend. No major problems, just four small things that need to be corrected. Hopefully it will be ready Friday morning.

I stopped by Dr. Mackie's to pick up Krl's x-rays before returning to the house to pick her up for her appointment with the orthopedic surgeon.

We arrived five minutes early, only to wait an hour and thirty-five minutes before being summoned to the exam room. One we arrived there we waited another hour, although we could hear the doctor talking with prosthetic sales people about hunting, workers comp claims and insurance companies. Krl and I both were not too pleased with the doctor when he arrived.

He looked at Krl's x-rays before he examined her foot. Then he decided he didn't like the x-rays and ordered more taken. This meant another wait as we were shuffled to the bottom of his charts.

Finally he came in and told us that he believed Krl's break in her foot was a re-break of an old break and he wasn't going to address it. He continued,telling us that he felt she had torn a ligament in her ankle.

While Dr. Mackie told her not to walk on it, the orthopedic surgeon told her to walk on it and bend it and roll her ankle.

Now we are really confused.

She is supposed to return to see the orthopedic surgeon in three weeks.

I came in to the parts store after lunch. Tomorrow is a "project day".

I'm ready for a weekend!

Have a day!

FATHER, deliver us.
