At 9:50 this morning, Dr Glickman, the urologist who was going to remove the tumor from my kidney, phoned to say that he and Dr Aronoff had decided to postpone the surgery for 4 weeks or so.

I wish he'd called before the first round of Surprep!

Oy! Incredible!

What about the appendix thing? Was that being taken care of tomorrow, too, or was that to be two separate procedures?

They were performing the surgery together.

Nice to have some breakfast. I was starving.

Sunday morning greetings! Richard and I have attended 2 services this morning. First, via Zoom, we went to Morning Prayer at Christ the King in Dayton (where he usually goes). As soon as that was over, we traveled from his desk to mine to attend our niece Rev. Amy's service at First United Methodist Church in Springboro via Facebook Live.

I am both sorry and relieved to hear about the delay, Elmore. I know you want to get it dealt with right away and wish it could be so, but I must admit I was very apprehensive about you being in the hospital while all this stuff is going on

DR Elmore, that's what I was afraid was going to happen! Is there an antidote?

The BJs sent out an email that starting today they would have special shopping hours for those 60 + from 8-9 this morning

My mom wanted some bread and English muffins as well as some bagged oranges that were on sale at the local supermarket

vixmom · « **Reply #38 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:26:42 AM »

I wanted bread and orange juice

vixmom · « **Reply #39 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:27:55 AM »

I set the alarm for 7 but I fell back asleep for a while so it was 8:30 when I arrived at BJs

Good morning, all.

Sorry about the surgery, Elmore.

I was disheartened to see a full parking lot and a line stretching all along the building and was just about to leave when I noticed a grey haired gent entering a different door than the one where the line formed.

vixmom · « **Reply #43 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:29:47 AM »

It turns out the line was for the younguns

vixmom · « **Reply #44 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:31:24 AM »

I strolled in the other door, was able to not only get all the bread items for Mom and me but the deli was open and I was able to get a pound of ham

vixmom · « **Reply #45 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:32:58 AM »

I also wanted a chicken but they were still cooking

vixmom · « **Reply #46 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:34:32 AM »

And I got the oj as well

vixmom · « **Reply #47 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:35:36 AM »

Then l went to the supermarket and got my mom the bagged oranges she wanted and a half gallon of skim milk for us.

vixmom · « **Reply #48 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:36:45 AM »

The chicken area only had legs and thighs and a notice that only 1 package was allowed per person

vixmom · « **Reply #49 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:37:43 AM »

I saw the butchers working in the back and asked if there was any chance I could get a single package with 4 breasts in it

vixmom · « **Reply #50 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:38:36 AM »

Usually you get 4 small breasts in the packages.

vixmom · « **Reply #51 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:39:40 AM »

The butcher was someone who has been there for years and I’ve been shopping there since I was a cashier there in high school so he recognized me and said to just give him a minute

vixmom · « **Reply #52 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:40:44 AM »

He ended up handing me a package with 4 full double breasts in it, way more than I wanted but I thanked him profusely and bought it

vixmom · « **Reply #53 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:41:29 AM »

I will slice them up and freeze them, there’s enough for the next several weeks

vixmom · « **Reply #54 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:43:21 AM »

I drove by my moms and left her groceries on the freezer in her garage , then moved back to the garage door as she entered from her house

vixmom · « **Reply #55 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:43:49 AM »

Her house has an adjoining door to her garage

vixmom · « **Reply #56 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:46:05 AM »

The bread at BJs are all double packs so she haS 2 loves if bread and two packages of English muffins . She tried to give me one of each but I told her to freeze the extras so that she has enough in case I can’t get her more next week

vixmom · « **Reply #57 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:48:06 AM »

I’m nervous about getting too close to her in case I’m carrying any of these corona germs , she’ll be 88 this year

vixmom · « **Reply #58 on:** March 22, 2020, 08:48:57 AM »

I was back home, put away the groceries and made a cup of coffee then settled in for church via IPad

It was nice to “see” so many showed up and to interact via comments
