Knee Surgery - Part 3

 In recovery - he doesn't look so bad.
He was hungry because he couldn't eat after midnight the night before. Coffee and a donut - not bad. While he was in recovery I had to pick up the dogs from day care. I took them home, fed them and was just about to leave the house to return to the hospital when a huge storm came through. There was a warning for possible golf ball size hail and damaging winds, then the electricity went out. Wasn't sure how I was going to get the car out of the garage.
The rain lets up a bit so I try to open the garage door on my own, but kept getting interrupted by phone calls.  A friend called the wrong number b/c my number was next to someone else she was trying to call in her contact list, the nurse at the hospital called to tell me Todd was ready to go. I asked her to tell him he should order more donuts and watch another movie. Todd calls wondering why I'm not there. PEOPLE...... PLEASE, if you would just STOP calling me, perhaps I could get this  %^*(#@  garage door open and return to the hospital. After hoisting the garage door open (on my own, thank you very much, good thing I lost weight and built up some muscle) I had to prop it open with a ladder and luckily it was high enough for me to drive the car out. Geez, we rely on electricity so much and take it for granted, plus did I mention my phone started to run out of power by this time. Here's the impatient patient finally at home.
