Benz, Nakhon Phanom and more…

In August Benz had already problems with his right knee. He went to a doctor and got a treatment for it. But on 11 September in the early morning Benz was out in the rain finding frogs and slipped in the mud and hurt his knee so bad that he hardly could walk. It went so bad that fern had to get him during his work. So he went again to a doctor who advised him to get a MRI scan. After a second option doctor (a little far away) and financial help of sister Warunee and us, Benz went to a private small hospital for a paid fast MRI. The result was that Benz needed an operation and that will take place in the beginning of October at the Government Hospital in Sawang Daen Din.

The second week of September Siripron was off from work and she filled it the same way as she fills her weekend days. So, almost every afternoon she went to the rice fields. On Thursday morning she went with Both to the Government of People for a new ID card of him. As a nice closure of the week we did on Saturday 12 September our favorite weekend trip at Nakhon Phanom. After the about 180 km, we arrived at the Fortune River View Hotel and after a little rest we went, a little early, to the weekend market and had a great diner at our well-known restaurant. The next day after breakfast we went home again.      

The many rain in September stopped me for finishing the lawn mowing and I didn’t got a change to start it again, so we have long wet grass. For me the week that Siripron was off for work didn’t start well, because of a massive food poisoning. But over the whole month I still could bike more than 500 km and that distance went to my virtual challenges. For the building block I did finish a smaller one, the Harry Potter Chess set, and I started building the Dark Tower of Saron “Barad-dur” from Lord of the Rings.

Other things that happened:
– We had again our septic tanks cleaned, because of many water from the rain.
– I went to Honda for service on our WR-V, the car is now 3 years old.
– On 15 September I went to Kham Ta Kla for lunch and shopping.
– My 90-days report had to be in person, so I went to Sakon Nakhon Immigration.
– Siripron had a retirement party and some lunch celebrations at her work.
