Saturday morning we took an Uber back to Savannah to pick up the car. What a great service.
We have previously packed two large suitcases and 1/2 dozen storage boxes and taken them to Charleston. Today we continued to pack and load the car. The Merc is starting to look a bit like the Beverly Hillbillies, loaded to the ceiling liner. Last night on board.

Breakfast out followed by more packing and cleaning. The weather had "broken" over night and we were able to give the AC a rest. We drove away at 1 PM. Quite a sad moment, though we contented ourselves by agreeing to return on Tuesday to finish cleaning up.
We have rented a small apartment for two months on/near the beach on the Isle of Palms.We are about 50 steps from the sand.

This was the big day. We were told to report to the hospital at 5 AM! We were called into prep shortly thereafter and they took Deidre into the surgery at about 7:15 AM and I retreated to the waiting room. The surgeon found me about 10:15 AM and reported that the procedure went well.

We were discharged from the hospital on Friday. The intermediate time was OK but Deidre did not have much fun.

Deidre has made steady progress. We now have the pill regimen down pat and we are both getting enough sleep. She has felt plenty of pain, but Deidre is already talking about easing back on the pain pills - but just talking! We get a nurse or physio almost every day which is comforting and a great service.

Today we went out for lunch. It was a bit of a production, and now she is buggered and back in bed, but it was a nice change.
The rest of the month
All in all I visited Tide Hiker 3 more times to remove all our gear and give her a good cleaning. I also needed to change the shower sump pump, that obviously decided to turn its toes up in protest. Deidre came with me the last time, but the 250 mile round trip proved to be a bit too much for her.
