Today's adventure was a trip to the hospital for Matt's hernia surgery...and I'm probably a large factor in causing it. I'll be the first to admit that I over-pack for everything and I can cram a lot of clothes and shoes in my bags for our trips. Those bags get pretty heavy. After 22 years of hauling my heavy stuff around, I guess I literally became a pain in Matt's side. It's still better than being a pain somewhere else. So, Matt was admitted at 7:30 a.m. and we were back home by 1:30 p.m. Everything went well and now he just has to rest and not do any heavy lifting. I guess we won't be able to take any trips for a while...or I'll have to cut down on my packing!

(You can't tell here, but he couldn't get his feet to fit on the bed unless his pillow and head hung off the bed.) |

I was bored and didn't have anything else to photograph while waiting. |
