Thurs. Oct. 16
We left here a little before 6:00 a.m. to head to Liberty. It turns out a good thing as before we reached Hamilton a red light came on indicating "low coolant". Jim pulled in at Hamilton, looked at the container, and headed inside to purchase coolant. The container was way low!
The light came on again on I-35 before we reached the rest station - so Jim pulled in again and this time the container looked full - so we continued on to Liberty.
It didn't take long for Jim to check in and he was soon being escorted back to be prepped for surgery - which lasted about 45 minutes. The doctor talked to me afterwards saying the tendon had been severed and he had attempted to reattach, but didn't know what 4 weeks being severed would be a negative effect. I was soon called back to see Jim and was then helping him get dressed to head home.
We first went by Walgreen's to get a prescription for a pain killer filled. Jim then wanted to eat so we went to O'Charley's where we ended up splitting a marvelous entree and each had a side salad -- very, very tasty - and we were full.
Then we went by Roger's to let Jim look at baits for fish - then headed home.
We stopped at HyVee to get a couple of bags of frozen peas as he is to keep the arm iced, then stopped at Barnes/Baker to set up an appointment for an oil change and to also have the coolant checked to see if there might be a leak.
We are meeting Pat at 4:00 as Jim wants to show off his bandaged arm and hand. I think that probably the bandaging is excessive, except I think the doctor now realizes he is dealing with a bullheaded old codger!
We go back on Monday, Nov. 3 to see the doctor.
Be safe.

Tell the bullheaded old codger to take good care of himself (and you, too).
The California codger - just not quite as old.
