We're In Singapore

We made it to Singapore this morning. This is the land of where things happen when they say they're going to happen, so our flight arrived on time, a taxi whisked us away to the medical centre where the surgeon was, the appointment ran on time, and by noon we were at our hotel ordering lunch. Our room wasn't ready and so we ate in the restaurant, and because of the wait we were upgraded (again, just like 2 weekends ago) to an executive suite. It's a little funny because they executive suite here is no different in size and lay-out than a US Motel 6. Just the decor is a bit fancier.

What a difference in medical systems...can you say night and day? The surgeon who is operating on Tris' shoulder tomorrow morning had a wall of credentials that made us sigh relief, and he was able to explain exactly what he believes has happened to Tris' shoulder. He wasn't too impressed with the MRI photos but was able to read them enough. I don't think it's fair to complain about our experience in Indo online, but suffice to say that we are happy that we came to Singapore for this surgery.

This is a short blog because we've only paid for one hour and the hour goes so fast!!! Thank you for all of your well-wishes and prayers. Tris is not looking forward to the surgery, but he is thankful it is going to happen and that there's hope for pain relief in the near future.

Candace is at our house with the kids...I am a little sad that we're missing out on 3 days of visiting but God's got good timing. Our kids love her and she'll be able to relax during the daytime doing whatever she likes. Two days ago I introduced her to the $10 1 1/2 full body massages and I think she may go back for more. It's very, very nice.

Thanks for reading
