December 13,2009

We have finally arrived in Houston for the much anticipated surgery date. We arrived late last night, around 1230 am. The drive wasn't too bad, just a little long. After a short nights rest we got up for a little fun before having to get down to business. We attended our first ever NFL game: Houston Texans vs. Seattle Seahawks. The Texan's won with an astonishing score of 34-7! The boys had such a good time that they are planning the next game... and wouldn't you know it, there's another home game before we return to Oklahoma... January 3rd... I am not sure the patient will feel up to attending, but it's certain that he would like to, we'll have to see how that turns out. One of the best things about going to the game today was being able to walk there and back. Our hotel is just across the street from Reliant Park, so, no parking fee, no traffic to fight, just lovely weather in which to take a stroll.

After the game we watched a little more football on TV then headed off to Wal-Mart to get some essentials, like food!! YUM!! With our bellies full, there was yet MORE football to watch... I just love work-free Sundays! And finally, the boys decided there has been enough football for one day... on to a little friendly videogame playing while I sit here at the computer and Max, the puppy, is sacked out on the bed.

Tomorrow we plan to find our way to the Medical Center via the tram, locate the place we're suppose to go to on Tuesday morning for pre-op, then maybe a little shopping followed by a relaxing evening of...probably more football back at the suite.

All-in-all, not a bad start to this adventure.
