The mountain and the stoplight

Oh, dear!

This is actually from three hours ago, right after Margie, Jobe and I left McDonald's and began the drive to Anchorage. I prepared the Instagram after we reached Anchorage but forgot to mail it to the blog until I got home and saw it was not in the blog.

Off to see the doctor, surrounded by beauty

Here I am on my way to my 5:30 PM doctor appointment. Right now, I am sitting in an examining room waiting for my doctor. I have not seen her since before my first surgery, June 30, 2012. She does not know all the complications I suffered afterwards, the emergency surgery and all that. She is going to be very surprised to see the gigantic hernia in the middle of my belly. I wonder what she will think of it? She does not know I have to get a third surgery to fix it – that I should've had it already, but am precariously and apprehensively waiting until the Affordable Healthcare Act kicks in so I can hopefully afford it.

The mountains sure are pretty.

We chuck all aside and go for a drive

Fall tends to be a very short season here, days such as this extremely rare. I have been taking a semi-vacation/recuperation break since my return. I decided "what the hell, I'm not going to let this day go completely to waste," so I grabbed Margie and Lynx and we headed out to take a nice drive on this beautiful fall day. We pulled off for a brief stop at this overview of King Mountain and the Matanuska River. This lady also pulled up with her dog. She got out to take a picture while the dog looked for a place to pee.
