We had planned to pick up John and Sandy to go to the dance, but Ken got a text saying that they were at a doctor's office and then on their way to a pharmacy. During the dance Hardy got a text with more details. John and Sandy had spent hours yesterday at the ER and then hours today at an ophthalmologist's office. We are hoping that John is okay. He has had some very serious eye problems this year.

Earlier today I spent some frustrating time trying to straighten something out with an insurance company, always fun.
