09/05/19 - On 9/4, I got up at 6:45 am because I had another surgical appointment in Cheyenne.  I had at least two hours but was not sure of traffic so left early.  I did have a few traffic slow downs but nothing serious.  I got to the clinic about 9:45 am so was quite early.  Surgery was scheduled at 11:00 am but they took me early.  This was my last surgery.  Since I was a little early, the RN was able to take the sutures out of my left cheek.  The incision looks really good and now I have a few steri-strips. Finally this was the last surgery and all 7 spots have been removed.  The surgeon checked out the other incisions and the forehead and hand were a little red so I am now using Bactrim antiboitic ointment so had to stop and fill the prescription. I just did not feel like driving home so I stayed at my nephew's house.  His family was processing corn for the freezer so I elected to stay at his house where it was very quiet.  Philip came home and told me the family was getting together at his sister-in-law's house for dinner and wanted me to go.  When I bent over to put my shoes on, something happened and I started dripping blood on the floor.  We cleaned it up and I put pressure on it until the bleeding stopped.  What a mess.  We got home and everyone was so tired that we went to bed by 9:30 pm. 

This morning, I was up early since I was on the couch.  The family had breakfast a little after 7:00 am.  Virginia and Rosie had to leave at 8:30 am to clean a house.  I stopped a Philip's job to take his lunch and left for Denver at 8:37 am.  I had to stop for gas and got back to the RV by 10:45 am.  It has been a rather warm day but a breeze has made it tolerable without using the air conditioner.  I haven't gotten much accomplished today although I did start a puzzle!!  Since it is dusk now, I will get a few things done.  This will be the last picture until I am healed.

I'm so relieved that the last surgery is over! Hopefully the memories and the scars will be "dim" by the middle of October. We really are looking forward to you being here for the wedding. However, please know that if you aren't up to the travel, aren't feeling well enough, or whatever, you need to take care of Lena first! You are the only Aunt Lena that we have left in the family, (THINK about it -- only a year ago we had THREE!!!) and we want to keep you around for a good long time! Take note! I'm not joking here. PLEASE be careful and get yourself thoroughly well. Love you!
