July 3

We were up at 3:30am this morning and in the air at 5:45am. Arrived in Vancouver, then checked into the lodge by 10 am. This afternoon was pre op. Pre op took most of the afternoon. This evening, I took the little lady out to the Cactus Club for dinner. Judy is feeling well. We are certainly hoping the surgeon will find the minimally invasive approach is the prefered option for surgery on Monday, but we are prepared for the same surgery as last time. Many thanks to all of you for your thoughts, love, and prayers. Thank you, as well, for all the wonderful friends and family who are looking after the homestead while we are in Van City. Our neighbors are going above and beyond the call of duty, as usual. Vancouver is sunny and hot just like Saskabush. While you are on your knees, don't forget to pray for rain.
