Clinic Days

Another busy, busy day for  Lee!  At 9:00 we had an appointment with the social worker who determines who will be the primary and the secondary caregivers for Lee.  After that was established, we headed back to the condo for lunch and prepare to go back to the clinic @ 12:00.  All afternoon was spent with Lee having an MRI of the heart (to determine the condition of the 13 year old stents) and to view a small blockage that was there in March.  After that he had a stress test and a thalllium stress test followed by an EKG.  Once the team decides you are a possible candidate, things begin to happen and move quickly.  Tomorrow morning we will be going to the hospital @ 8:00 for Lee to have a barium swallow.  This is important because any reflux of stomach contents could end up in the new lungs and of course that would be a big problem.  Monday morning he is scheduled @ the clinic for another swallowing test.  That is all we know right now.  It will probably be next Wednesday before we have anything to report from the above.

On a bright note:  Todd, Donna, Chase and Carson will be coming on Saturday for a visit.  We are looking forward to seeing them.  We would love to see everyone and in due time will again I'm sure.  Another bright note....We finally received our mail!  We now have newspapers and magazines to read and bills to be paid!  Now it does seem more like home.

Last night Lee and I were so exhausted from a busy day at the clinic, more rehab for Lee and class for both of us from 3:30 to 4:30 that I opted to go to Whole foods for grilled salmon for supper.  It was very good!  We were both in the bed by 8:30 and slept 9 straight hours.  We did not have rehab today, the clinic sent in our absentee excuse so a couple hours to go over mail etc. was welcomed.  More Later.....Brenda
