I skipped my walk this morning for the first time in several weeks due to the cooler temps and very gusty winds.  The strong wind started yesterday afternoon and continued into today with some gusts reaching 20 mph or higher.  It sure felt good to sleep in a little longer.

In spite of the weather, seven guys showed up this morning for men's golf and made up two teams of three and four players.  After battling the wind, both teams ended up with scores of even par.  John manged to do some chipping and putting, but no driving off the tee.  While he was gone, I did some cleaning around the house.

 After lunch we headed over to Uvalde where John had an appointment at the hospital to get registered for tomorrow's knee surgery.  A nurse took us on a tour of the outpatient department and explained what and where everything would be done.  She then took us back to her office where she took John's blood pressure and other vitals and then had him sign all sorts of papers.  From there we went to the registration office where he signed more documents and were finally able to leave.

It was suppertime by now, so we treated ourselves to a meal at Applebee's before hitting the road back to the fort.  Once we got home, much of the evening was spent Skyping and receiving telephone calls from family checking in and offering support for tomorrow.
