Good planning. My Bad Knee and Hot and Sour Soup.

I had an appointment with my knee surgeon this morning. I parked in the parking lot of a Chinese restaurant across from the Hospital. Ms Horse and I used to go there, but I had not been there in years. The appointment went fine. If I have surgery, it will not be too invasive. When got back to my truck, I put the stuff they had given me (pre- and post-surgery stuff) and ordered some Hot and Sour Soup. I have been craving hot and sour soup for months, but do not have a "default" Chinese restaurant on my radar screen. The soup was good, but was lacking the chunks of (Kosher/Halal) pork I expected. Tonight, I am having steak and baked beans for dinner.

How very international of you to have two different cuisines in the same day

Hopefully, this non invasive surgery does wonders. I think about my back problems so much, but I can’t imagine how troublesome knee problems are.

I hope they add at least some chunks of chicken in the soup. I like a lot more with chicken than pork. I am glad your surgery will not be invasive, do you have someone driving you there?
