Laser Surgery

Kyle and I left Monday after he got off work to head to Landstuhl military hospital where he was having his eye surgery. We got to our hotel at about 10pm. At least we thought it was our hotel. We called and they said they would be down to unlock the door in 5 minutes. We called 35 minutes later after no one came, only to discover we were at the wrong place. Same name, same owners, just the wrong one. The other hotel was only 10 minutes away, so it wasn't to bad, just frustrating after a 3 hour drive. It felt like grandma and grandpas. I think we were the only people staying there, but it was close and convenient and way better than driving 3 hours each way to the hospital.
We got up at 5 on Tuesday to be at the hospital at 6. When we got to the hospital the optometry didn't open until 6:30 so we went to the chow hall for some breakfast. We went back to the clinic, sat and waited, Kyle went back at about 7:30 for a briefing. The escorts were given permission to leave, but I had no where to go, so I just sat around the waiting room. I even managed to take a nap sitting there. Unfortunetly Gunnar decided that my ribs were a cool new playground, and he made things quite uncomfy. They had all the laser eye surgery appointments get there at the same time, and surgeries started around 10. Kyle was second to last and we didn't get out of the hopsital until about 1300. A long day for a 15 minute procedure.
We grabbed some lunch and went back to the hotel and took nice long naps. We had to be back at the hospital at 7:30 this morning, so we left the hotel around 6:40 and went and grabbed breakfast at the chow hall again. I figured out that the fattening stuff is the cheaper food so I filled up on bacon and biscuits and gravy...eat fruit, pay more!
It was a long drive home for me, as Kyle slept the entire 3 hours of the trip. He seems to be doing okay, his eyes hurt tonight, and he is very sensitive to light, so we are hanging out like a couple of hobbits.
We also went and got a new car today! It is so hard to spend the money for me, but I know we will be happy once it gets here. It takes no more than 14 days to get here...so until then it is rentals, bikes, and buses. So hopefully it is more like 7 days. We are still waiting to hear about our poor BMW, but it might be time for it to go to car heaven.
