Life is what happens when you're planning something else!

Mom and I took Dad for his cataract surgery today...arrived around 8:30. They came to get him at 9 and at 10:30 came out to tell us he hadn't gone yet. At 11:10 they came out once again to tell us he could head home. Their machine broke and they'd been trying to troubleshoot it to get it fixed, but no joy. So Dad hadn't eaten since midnight, had an IV in his hand, had one very dilated eye, and had nothing to show for it all. Tomorrow they have to call the office to reschedule. Brian's reply, "Are you going to charge the Dr for 3 hours of your time?!!" Could be worse...the machine could have broken partway thru the procedure. I guess that's our silver lining for today.
