Since we were about an hour west of OKC last night we decided to get up early and get through before the “worker bees” clogged up the traffic lanes. We were out of bed by 4:00 am and on the road before 6. That all worked well for OKC but then we were heading into Tulsa with all the rush hour folks and there was major highway construction that really made the Tulsa crossing a rough go. At one time there was a little red piece of tin on four wheels that jumped right in front of us forcing a major stop on our part and getting them a long blast of our horn and almost a big push from our front bumper.
By leaving that early we made it to the Nu-Wa factory in Chanute, KS around 10:30, dropped our trailer with them to make the necessary repairs and then headed to Springfield. It has been a long day of driving
Wilma has to be to the hospital early in the morning so it will be another early rising for us. She is having laparoscopic surgery to repair her esophageal valve into her stomach. She apparently has had major problems with reflux that we weren’t aware of. We will be there with her tomorrow and Saturday but we will need to head back toward the Martin Manor on Sunday to make my appointment on Monday morning.
The service manager at Nu-Wa told us that they would work on our trailer tomorrow but I will just have to go pick it up when I am able to drive again. With my surgery being on my upper back I won’t be able to lift anything for a while and will have to find out whether or not my driving will be curtailed for a while. I want this to heal properly so we will be able to make the next trip that for now is planned to begin in early June.
