The hotel provides a free breakfast so Linda and I went and availed ourselves at 9.30am and it was really good.
We then drove the 25 minutes to the Veteran’s Hospital where Guy is staying!!!
It was good to see him again and to say he had major surgery a week ago I thought he looked quite good. He is obviously tired and a bit frail but after all he has been through………we had a nice chat and then his social worker came so I left them alone and walked around this incredible facility that is only open to veterans!!!!
The good news is that the surgeon thought that Guy is well enough to be discharged into a rehabilitation center for at least a week…so they will transfer him later in the afternoon.
Linda and I then went and did some errands and then met their daughter Teri for a few minutes…..it was nice to see Teri again even if only for a few minutes and thanks Teri for the children’s artist supplies the girls will love them.
After doing a last minute Wal-Mart shop we got back to the hotel at 4.30pm just enough time for a cup of tea and a shower then off to a local restaurant to meet Linda’s son who I had heard so much about but never met.
The restaurant was a ribs place and the food was wonderful and I so enjoyed meeting the family the kids were adorable and so well behaved….
and I did not know they made little people so small…..Taylor is barely three weeks old never seen a baby so young I was fascinated by his tiny fingers and toes and he is a cutie!!!
After supper Linda and I went to see Guy in his new care center which lucky for Linda is only a 5 minute drive from the hotel so none of those long trips every day!!!
The facility is small and seems really nice!!!
So it was a long day but glad to be a small support for Linda and it was nice to see their family…….
10 pm so it just has to be tea time!!!!
The plan for tomorrow is for me to leave here in the afternoon and drive to Bisbee which is close to the border where I shall stay over night and then cross into Mexico early Sunday morning.
I know I shall not have Internet till I get to SMA so perhaps my next post will not be till Wednesday.
Have a great safe and happy weekend and to my Canadian Family and fiends I wish a really special and happy Thanksgiving weekend!!!!
