Update on Al.

Well, his ankle didn't heal as the doc would have liked, so on Tuesday, Al has to have surgery. They will be putting a plate and some screws and who knows what else in there. The doc came in with the x-rays and he's rubbing his chin saying that's interesting. He looked at Al and said, don't you just love it when docs say something is interesting. Then he told us that the ankle shifted and he also wanted to take x-rays that were higher up on the leg because he said that Al could have broken that, too. But he didn't, so that's good, but like I said, he is having surgery. Of course, all Al was worried about was that they didn't do it today, so he could go to homecoming.

We went to the store my nephew works at in the mall and got Alex an outfit to wear. He is going to wear black dress shorts and a nice button down white shirt. I'll take pics. I know it sounds weird wearing shorts to a dance, but like Larry said, with a broken leg, he has the perfect excuse.
