Because we know that the shop guys would be highly unlikely to listen to a woman, I told them that "a mechanic friend" recommended replacing the fuel filter (which will do no harm) and that they check the fuel pump and its electrical connections. I called them today to check, and they told me that they had the fuel filter, but that the mechanic was at lunch. He never called back, so I wouldn't expect the van to be back in my hands tomorrow, especially because I have an appointment at Renown Hospital to have my surgical staples removed.
As tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day as a protest, we did refuel Lisa's pickup this evening and get groceries instead of combining those errands with tomorrow's hospital visit.
The surgical staples make it feel like I have a zipper running upward from my belly button to halfway to my breastbone. I do have an odd bulge down near the bottom of the healing incision in my belly. I will ask the medical people about those bulges. Here's hoping it's not a complication that will land me back in the hospital!
