Surgery et al

What a day. Kim was supposed to have eye surgery at the Clinic today, but while we were getting ready to go this morning, she broke a tooth while flossing. Guess she doesn't know her own strength. These surgeries require 3 days of traveling an hour each way. Monday we go up there for pre-op testing. Then Tuesday we go up for the surgery. Then Wednesday is post-op.

We called the doctor who said they would cancel the surgery and reschedule at a later date. We knew this would probably mean at least a 3 week wait. We found a walk-in dental place where we had to wait about an hour to see a dentist. But once Kim got into the chair, it didn't take long for the dentist to fix her up with a filling. She'll have to go back sometime for a crown. After we got back home we decided to call the Clinic back to see if they could still take her. They said yes, so we drove up there and she had the surgery done.

Originally she was supposed to be there at 12:30. We actually got there at 2:30. But things went well, more or less, and we were able to leave for home around 6:15. So in the long run, everything worked out well. She was able to have the surgery, and we think we finally found a dentist.
