Monday, April 20

At least it wasn't a pretty day because we spent our whole day at therapy and a doctors appointment. We left home at 10:15 and arrived back home at 5:15. We were late to therapy as we got stopped by the longest train ever on Trabue Rd. Plus Mr. Bichler doesn't like Monday therapy because it runs through lunch, 11-2 p.m. He looks at his watch the entire morning. I seem to remember that he took the clock out of his old room so students couldn't stare at the clock! At 1:45 we had to drive to the OSU Medical Center, every parking garage was full so we valet parked, however we went to the wrong building so we took the tunnel to the main hospital. We checked in and waited another hour before we got in to see the doctor. It was Dr. Meis and Dr. Thomas, both gastroenterologists that I had not met. Dr. Thomas had put the food tube in when Mr. B was in surgical intensive care following the first surgery. I never get tired of watching doctor's reactions when they see how great Mr. B looks compared to what he looked like when they saw him right after the accident. Dr. Thomas just shook his head in disbelief. Mr. B has to go back in 2 weeks for a EGD which looks inside the esophagus to see if the inflammation is gone. On the way home we stopped at Culver's for a long over due lunch/supper and treated ourselves to a custard. Once home we both crashed for the evening.
