Day1620
A mostly sunny cold day here today and -12. Its -16 in Woodstock now. Good to be inside with this cold weather.
Texted Ruby to get the grandkids up and get them ready for their mother to pick them up on her way home from work. Payton said 'I can't beleive pop is at the hospital and he is still getting us out of bed' lol. Got prepped early this morning for my hernia surgery. Took to the pre-op room at approx 0730, had my surgery done at approv 0930 and back in my room before 1100. Very efficient and friendly group of doctors and nurses they have here. Rested for the afternoon, had supper in my room and then got up for some walking around. Some pain and stiffness but not bad.

Day 1620
A cold sunny day here today and -11. Its -13 here now.
Up with the grandkids this morning to get them ready for their mom to pick them up on her way home from work. Then got ready to head out to Shouldice Hospital in Thornhill. Me, Ruby & Sarah left Noel's at 1040 in Sarah's Jeep and arrived at the hospital at 1240 - traffic jam on 401 due to an accident. Ruby & Sarah waited until I got checked in, lab work done, etc and then they left for home. I saw the surgeon who is going to do my surgery tomorrow and then got settled in my room. Went for an orientation meeting at 1630 and supper at 1730 in the dining room - good meal. Will hear later tonight when I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow - they are doing 33 hernia surgeries here tomorrow.

Day 1614
A cold day here in Toronto/Woodstock today with snow, freezing rain, rain and thunder & lightning.
Got a shuttle from the hotel to Shouldice Hospital this morning. I had applied online from Florida and they told me when I got there that they had me scheduled to see a surgeon on April 8. But I had not heard from them. Its a walk-in clinic so I got in to see a surgeon - quite the crowd there but I was there early so not to long for me to get in. He took all my info etc and then checked my hernia. I informed him that for me to get reimbursed from our travel insurance I had to have my surgery within 20 days from my initial diagnosis. After my evaluation I met with the scheduling secretary and informed her and she managed to get me set up for surgery on Thursday, Feb 27. I have to be at the hospital on Wed and stay for 4 nights. Very lucky to get in so fast as their is usally a 6 to 8 week wait. Then Sarah and Bob (her dad) came in and picked us up. Stopped at Tim's for a snack and then headed for Noel's. I drove back and we ran into some bad weather - very slow going on the 401. Took us 3 hours for a 1 1/2 drive. Noel picked up the grandkids on his way home from work and they were so surprised when they walked in - should see the look on their faces - priceless. Bob & Sue here with us for supper - chinese food. Busy day.

Day 1610
A sunny day here today and 18º. Its 12º here now.
Out or a walk around the park after breakfast this morning - walking slower now because of the hernia. Gerry and Yvonne here for a visit after lunch. We then went across the road to Fred & Dianne's and helped them do a deep fried meal. We used 2 turkey cookers and cooked up a meal of home fries, onion rings, battered fish and Ruby did a pot of hamburger meat and gravy - all the healthy stuff lol. Very tasty though and we even use lard which made it even tastier. After that we were down to Mike & Diane's for a visit.
Deep fried meal.......
