We are back from Sturdy. The surgery went well and the patient is doing well. There was a minor difficulty getting the lens to sit correctly in the eye, but the surgery was quick and Drew is sleeping off the anesthesia.

He’ll post pictures later of his cool looking eye patch. I convinced him that his adoring public could wait a few hours for today’s photo of him looking stoned.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. We appreciate it.

Today Allison and I went to IKEA with Neil and Andrea. We went to get a set of shelves to put into our kitchen. The desk that we are using now as a place to store items is going to be moved to Allison’s art room/ future nursery (no kids or signs of kids yet). We also have a file cabinet that we are using for kitchen stuff too and that is being moved.

We picked up the GORM system, including two (approx. W30″ X D20″ X H68″) sections with 4 shelves. We also picked up 4 additional shelves that are 19″ wide. So all together we will make use of storage space of about 7 feet of width and almost 6 feet of height. So look for some pictures when we get this built. After the IKEA trip (about 4 hours, that place is huge) we went back to Neil and Andrea’s and had a very nice dinner and caught up with them.

Tomorrow is my eye surgery, so we will see how things go tomorrow (no pun intended).

I found this both funny and sad that a sign needed to be added to a non-functioning toilet that is in the middle of a store.
