Update on Al

 I know I know, it's not Al. 

   It's me the other third of the Bayfield Bunch.

Let me tell you, I have never seen anyone so prepared and organized as Al has been for this surgery.

   oops, he likes bigger and bolder fonts. :)

Al went out and bought everything he could think of for the next month, so I wouldn't have to shop as much.

What a thoughtful guy.

   He lined up his good friend Richard to give me a ride to the Sarnia hospital to pick up the car and Al tomorrow.

    We have all the health aids needed to help his recovery go smoothly. Thank you to Jeff Bezos for bringing them right to our door. It amazes me what he keeps in those warehouses. 

 Pheebe has been searching everywhere for Al. The house, carport. bird stations and all the paths.

  I guess I better get outside and feed the birds, they are looking in the sunroom windows for him.     Update at bottom of post.....

       


   

   Our first dog Max in the picture.

   ****I called the hospital this afternoon for an update. Nurse said he got back from recovery around noon. They were going to get him up at 4:00 for a bit. Physio in the morning and then if Dr. oks it discharge around noon. Oh, and the nurse asked him if she could call someone for him. He said no!!    That's Al, he wouldn't want to bother the nurse with extra work. 😄

Thanks for reading.

  1. Thanks for the update, Kelly. Glad Al’s doing well. Isn’t it amazing how quickly they send patients home? He’ll be restless and ready to get out on his drives in no time. Poor Pheeps though! LOL

    Typical of Al not wanting to disturb anyone.
    Please take care of yourself. Praying the Transplant takes place as soon as Al is fit to drive.

  23. Wow, what a phenomenal surprise this was tonight! Here I was expecting a down night with no post, and instead I found an amazing one. Thank you so much.
    The pictures are wonderful! The love wonderful. Looking forward to learning that Al is home and on the road to recovery. As to his posts----- seems to me like the substitute poster gives him a run for his money. I had wondered about Pheebs. Hadn't thought about the birds. You are doing a great job. Please take care of you.
