Seis de Mayo and struggling

Cinco de Mayo was rough.  Tim had to have outpatient surgery.  He found out he had a hernia.  He injured himself in '09, but ignore the pain.... it got better.  But about a month ago the pain came back with a vengeance. So ..... surgery for not one hernia, but two.  Surgery went well.  If he behaves himself, he'll be back to normal in 2 or 3 weeks. Big "if".  He also lost his driver's liscence.  We are hoping he dropped it at the hospital when he went in for the pre-op exam.

The dogs are doing well.  Jack is a little monster - very energetic.  The vet can't believe how well he's doing after having been exposed to distemper.

I had a new clutch put in my standard-transmission car a week before Tim's surgery.  The mechanic got sick, so it took 2 weeks to get my car back.  My car is a '99 with 275,000 miles on it.  It was still running on the original factory clutch.  It would have went a while longer, but there were some signs.  Not bad, huh?  Tim wanted to get a new clutch (new slave cylinder, too,) with our tax refund money while we had the money.

There's more, (doctors, truck radiators, dogs ......) but I'm so tired.  This crash - seems like as soon as I start feeling a little better, something else happens!  Ya know?
