Tuesday, November 7th, 2017…...
Today was another appointment for my
sister. We took her to her Kaiser
doctor’s facility in Salem to check in at 1:00pm. She got her port installed today.
They call it minor outpatient surgery but they still used anesthesia so it took
several hours total. Lydia stayed with her for some of the wait before they
called her back for prep, then she came out and we went off to kill some of the
time. We went to Mors, which is a
furniture store up here (very similar to Living Spaces), to look at dining room
tables. We found one we really liked but
we have more comparable shopping still to do. We also went up to Keizer, a
small community just north of Salem to look around. Joe and Maryanne told us
they have a nice Elks lodge up there with an excellent campground. We were heading back down one of the main
streets in town and we saw the lodge off on a side street. They were right – it is a really nice rv
park. Looks like a regular campground
with full hookups and room for 40+ rigs! We headed back and got back to the
medical center and were walking in when Lydia got the call that Penny was just
wheeled into recovery. We met with the
aides, who went over the after-surgery instructions with us. They said she should not be home alone so we
said she would be staying with us for the night. A few minutes later, we were heading out. She hadn’t been allowed food all day so we
stopped at Applebee’s for dinner before stopping off at her place to pick up
clothes for the night and next day plus Quincy and her doggie bed. Once home, we walked the dog and settled in
to relax and all of us calling it night pretty early after the long day.
Here are a few
pictures. We have a neighbor cat who likes to patrol our yard. He was outside this one morning and a deer
happened by. They were as close as five
feet from each other and neither seemed concerned!.....
