It was another hot and very humid morning, so we decided not to take our usual walk. John had an appointment with his surgeon early this morning, so after breakfast we headed off to Bemidji. The doctor was very pleased with his progress and wrote new PT instructions. He also told John to expect the complete recovery to take at least three months and to not expect it any sooner. John returns to see him again in another month.

Since John can't handle scrubbing the car one handed, we decided to take it to a car wash. The poor Honda was covered with dust and bug bodies and now looks like a new vehicle. From the car wash, we stopped at Wal Mart to pick up a few groceries and to start some birthday present shopping. We have six grandkids with birthdays in the fall, so we thought this would be a good time to start shopping for them.

This afternoon I ran into the post office and then stopped in at the Sandwicks. Dave, Valada, and Ralph were having a lazy afternoon, so I stayed and visited for half an hour. Ralph has a doctor's appointment in early September, so he is planning to hit the road back to Texas this weekend. His visit will overlap with Bee and Nancy Stone who should be arriving in Bagley by Thursday. It will be good to see them again.

We had a few rain showers in the early evening and the humidity still continues to hang around. The weather is suppose to break tomorrow and be much cooler for a few days. One can only hope.
