We left for Omaha about about 8:00. Mandy had just gotten off work and she slept as Denny drove. We met with 2 doctors. One would have done the ankle replacement. It was decided that the ankle replacement was not a good idea for Denny. It would not increase the movement of the joint because it had lost much of it's range of motion. Dr. Fitzgibbon was in charge of doing the ankle fusion. We left the office and went to Trader Joes to shop for fun. On the way home the Doctor called and wondered if we could have it done in two days, on Wednesday at 10:30. Sure! Denny went to the bank to talk to higher up and let them know he would not be able to work for 30 days. That leaves the Arthur office a little empty because Deb is gone to Alaska for two weeks. Good staff will come in and work. I took Anabel and the Prius to get the tire fixed. Then we went to the softball game. We got there for the JV game and part of the varsity game. At home I started to look at the number of assignments that were due on Wednesday, the day that Denny is having surgery. I worked on class work until about 2 am. Burr Oak School The pictures are from BO weekend. My family went to BO school. Bruce was the only one of the seven that didn't go to the Burr Oak country school. Keith was in Washington DC presenting something. Gail had knee replacement surgery last week so she didn't make the trip to northeast Iowa. The next picture is my good friend Mugs. We went to school at North Winn until eighth grade and she went to Decorah. The next picture is of Beth. She was in eighth grade she went to a cheerleading camp with the varsity cheerleaders in Minnesota. It was kinda funny, Beth and I both had yellow tops with yellow shoes. We were laughing about the clothes we wore 45 years ago. We both said we had outfits that had yellow shoes. The next picture is people who were within 2 years of me. Some were two years older, some were two years younger. Either way that these are the people who attended Burr Oak Country school with me.
