We are in Houston….
Thursday, May 29th, 2008We made it last night around 12:30, and we all CRASHED. Yesterday was a very long day. The doctor’s appointment in Monroe didn’t go as planned, but we were expecting the news we heard. Wes told them he hadn’t been feeling as well as he did when he had the first stent put in. Dr. Burkett decided to go on and do a stress test since we were going to Houston. He trained here in Houston, and said if he had a heart problem, Houston is where he would be. When you hear a doctor tell you that, you know where you need to be. The stress showed that the stent wasn’t working, so they told us to head to Houston and Dr. Burkett would contact the dr down here. We are up early and Wes has just heard from Dr. Burkett. He is on the phone right now with the heart doctor here in Houston to get an appointment. He has an appointment at 1 with his radiation doctor at MD Anderson. The heart doctor is associated with several different hospitals here in Houston, but all are right down the street from MD Anderson. We got lucky and got a room at the Rotary House, which is connected to MD Anderson. When I called last week, they didn’t have anything, but I called before we left yesterday and they had one. It is nice to stay here, because not just anybody can stay here. Well, his appointment is at 2:30, and I hope our appointment with the radiation doctor doesn’t run over.
We had our inspection this morning so we could get the electricity turned on, and WE PASSED….. However, the police jury didn’t havea sewer permint on file, so that is a hold up. I talked to Aaron and he said he would find out what needed to be done. That is all for now……
