Friday Frenzy

Good evening everyone,

We are still in Chicago this Friday evening. John's appointment was at 1:30, but Dr. Yoo wanted to sew his eye shut again, only this time the stitches are on the inside instead of on the outside, so there shouldn't be any chance of it coming unstitched. But Dr. Yoo was very busy so he couldn't even start the procedure until about 4:00. It was probably about 4:45 by the time we got out of there and traffic was already horrendous (similar to McLeansboro on a Friday night). So we are staying at our favorite hotel yet again; thank God it is close to the hospital. I also think my road rage frightens John a little. That's just sad, isn't it?

Anyway, the good news is we will get a good night's sleep and head back home early in the morning, fresh and calm. We should be back home by noon or close thereto.

We had a very nice time at Bucky and Melody's the days we were there. They cooked a nice dinner for us on Wednesday night and we just hung out together. Yesterday we met Bucky for lunch downtown and then went back to their house for the afternoon. Our good friend Barbara met us for dinner last night in Evanston. It was a very nice time. We so appreciate our family and friends. I hope you don't get tired of hearing how much we appreciate all of you, but we really, really do. This ordeal would have been much more difficult to handle without the support of our family, friends and our faith in God. I don't know how people get through without all of these.

Well, John has gone down to the workout room here in the hotel to ride the bike, so I better go check on him. Notice that I am not riding the bike, just going to check on him.

Love you all and have a great evening.

John and Cathy
