We've been busier this month than usual. My cousin Jimmy and his wife Sally from Illinois came on the 10th for a visit. They have a time share in Orlando and their son and his family came from Texas for a visit. Jimmy and Sally drove over to visit with us for a few hours while their son and his family went to Disney. We just had homemade subs and a pasta salad I fixed for lunch. It didn't occur to me until after they left, that we hadn't taken any photos! I guess it was because we were having such a good visit, that we didn't stop for photos.
Mike's cousin Mary Lynn from California flew in to Orlando late in the evening on the 9th to check on her rental house at Melbourne that is now empty. We drove up to her house the day of the 9th and left her our air mattress, a table lamp and a bedside table to use while she stayed there. We drove up to see Mary Lynn on Saturday the 11th and she always has a few small jobs for Mike to do around the house. Mary Lynn took us out for dinner to Squid Lips in Melbourne. Mary Lynn left on the 15th and we drove up that day to get our stuff we had left for her to use.We always enjoy seeing Mary Lynn the few times we get together.
June 13th was Mike's 74th birthday and we drove down to Vero to have dinner at Outback Steakhouse. The steaks are always good there.
Mike has been having knee problems for a while and our primary care doctor recommended
a doctor, Dr. Maes, here in Sebastian. She told us about a procedure where a gel is injected in the knee and it helps to replace some of the missing cartilage. Unfortunately after seeing the surgeon and having x-rays, Mike found out he has NO cartilage in his left knee and that the gel injections are not an option. So he has opted to have knee replacement surgery later this month. Mike has had to have pre-op visits with his primary care physician and cardiologist to have tests run prior to the surgery.
