Airport phiasco

Poor Austin was supposed to get here yesterday at lunchtime. He's just now getting here, 7:00 a.m. next day!! Mechanical problems, but the airline never canceledhis flight until over 12 hours later, so all these people sitting, waiting. This is in San Francisco, where a flight leaves every minute. They finally ended up driving to Sacramento and flying from there straight to Charlotte on red eye. This is after over 12 hours at SFO! Yikes, Ken nor I could have handled that, we would have been back pedaling big time!! Hopefully he's landed and safe. This is his first flight solo across country, what a bad start!! I hope Austin slept on the plane.

Gal Bladder update - doing very well, walked around the block, went to see friends new koi pond (minus koi - too many deer and snakes) did laundry and washed kitchen dishes in the sink in our bathroom. Who has surgery in the middle of home renovations and a visit from nephew?? Not thinking clearly, just want that sucker out and no more pain. Have had successful cleansing of the system, so all stations are working! The slits for the cameras (3) are almost healed, slit in belly button where gallbladder removed from - healing more slowly, but better by the hour. They gave me oxycotton (sp ?) for pain, off those suckers and onto ibuprofean, I don't want any part of the hard stuff!!
Hopefully, Austin is here, bye ya'll

Gallbladder is gone

Gallbladder came out yesterday, and when the pain goes away, I'll be gladder!! Very easy recovery so far... no extreme pain from the anesthesia!! I have four small incisions, 3 were for cameras to make sure nothing else going one. The parents are taking good care of me, and Bogie is helping too. Tonight I'll be home with the sawdust!! My throat does hurt from the tube they shoved down it, my only complaint.
Wednesday I got a farm house sink, (gorgeous) and a bathtub in the hall. The kitchen cabinets are all done (but the paint) look beautiful. I'll have pics when I feel better.
Sunday the Austin Man gets here from Calif, yeah. We will have fun with him.
I'm taking percaset (sp ?) not so bad!!

Remodeling

We are in our third week of remodeling, and we are still at the demo stage, and we have a small house!! I was hoping (silly me) it would all be done by now. It's just a kitchen (small) and 2 bathrooms (small). As it is all our stuff is in one extra bedroom and in boxes everywhere else!! Yikes!!!! We did put paper down on the hardwood floores, as they were getting really dirty in just 2 visits. The paper is red as opposed to the brown I thought it was, so Bogie and Starbucks run around on the red carpet!! They love it, no skidding on the floors!!
