Tomorrow morning, long before the sun makes it way up into the sky, Lauren will drive me to a downtown hospital for my total hip surgery.

We will exchange roles from earlier this year when I sat alone and waited the long hours for her surgical repair of her broken arm. This time she will be waiting and my bones will be replaced with titanium. I suspect Lauren may wander off to Chik-Fil-A at some point as the morning stretches out endlessly.

I would appreciate your prayers for myself and my family. Thank you for riding along and being our support system!
