John had an early appointment with his surgeon this morning, so we had to leave the house right after breakfast. On our way into town, we stopped at the dump to drop off our trash--making sure that was taken care of before we leave on Friday.

John had a very good report from his doctor. He is now allowed to do just about whatever he wants, just no working with his hands above his head. He is also to start the strengthening of the shoulder muscle. The only thing that would cause a problem would be if John was to suffer a trauma to the shoulder--such as falling on it or something like that. Dr. Miller said he could even do rifle hunting in November. He has another appointment with him November 3rd, so it looks like we won't be heading south until sometime mid-November.

After leaving the doctor's office, we made a quick stop at Wal Mart to pick up some water softener salt and then went to Office Max to pick up some contractor forms for Matt. We stopped at Matt's on our way home to drop off the forms and then stayed and visited for a bit.

John helped out in the shop this afternoon and I spent some time getting the finances in order and then loading a few items in the car. Then it was time for Weight Watchers where I just weighed in but didn't stay for the meeting. When I got home, we ate a quick supper and then headed up to church for Bible Study. Rachel's birthday is Friday and since we will be on the road, we gave Sara and Matt her gift.

We had the DVR record Survivor while we were at church, so when we got home we watched the show. Glad to see that the "old" tribe won immunity this time, but couldn't believe the "young" tribe voted off one of their strongest players. Next week should be interesting.
