Texas

We made a u-turn from Oklahoma and we are back in Texas! We came back so Bill could have his stent from the kidney stone surgery removed at the VA hospital where it would be free. Well as you may guess that didn’t work out. The VA does not do anything quickly even when Bill called everyone and made sure he was following the correct procedure.

We decided to use our other insurance and happily the stent was removed within 24 hrs of our first phone call. Amazing! Thank you Dr. Schiffman!

The VA told Bill his stent wouldn’t even be looked at for removal until 3 weeks and the doctor who removed Bill’s stent said they remove them within 3 days after surgery! I think the VA doesn’t know the difference between weeks and days?! Bill would have been miserable and could possibly have developed other complications. Ugh! The main thing is Bill is doing great and he is almost back to 100%.

Right after Bill’s stent removal we went to Rockport for some more fun in the sun! While we were there, Jennifer’s dad caught a 40-inch, 22 pound Redfish! It was huge!


We had a lot of fun in Rockport – the kids had 2 cousins who were visiting from Maryland to play with too, which was great!

We’ve also been doing some sightseeing in Texas. We went to the Stanzel Model Airplane Museum in Columbus, which was really cool!


We also had ice cream after a tour of the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham – which is the best ice cream ever!
