Spring Time Update
March weather has been the usual desert climate, sunny and warm with a high temperature of 99 degrees already on the 17th.
It has now settled back to the normal highs of 70’s and 80’s.
Benay awoke on March 21st with some mild discomfort in her abdomen and back and it progressed to severe pain by 10 pm that night. After taking her to our local hospital and after many overnight tests, it was determined that she was suffering from gallstone blockage. By 6 am she was already scheduled for surgery. The laparoscopic method was used and the surgeon decided that the gallbladder should be removed. The 90-minute operation was successful and now she is now resting up at home and getting stronger and in training for the next slot tournament.
Thank goodness we were close to home and not in the remote area of Captain Cook, Hawaii, where we spent quite a bit of time in the past 2 years. Our local hospital is only 5 minutes away from our house.

So good to read your blog. I had the gallbladder surgery about 5 years ago too. I was on a cruise out of Miami eating way too much good food. Had to fly home in agony until I went to the hospital. I know how you felt! Are you guys living in Hawaii full time now?
