Smooth Sailing!

Everything just went along as smoothly as possible. We left the hotel prior to 6am and just seemed to get into the flow of the traffic...no delays. We got to NIH before 6:30 and the gate was open and we got right in. We headed to the parking garage and got the ideal parking spot. Woody was the third person to check into the phlebotomy lab...walked right in. We had a couple of hour wait till it was time for Woody's CT scans...which was good as they need to have his results prior to scans. We read during that wait. I will admit to dozing for a bit! He checked in a bit early for his scans and they gave him his "drink" and he was called back quite quickly. I was a bit concerned as they had scheduled his CT and MRI so close together, but it worked! All his tests were done by noon. We headed to check out the soup choices of the day...each had a bowl of soup. Then we went to the car and got our suitcase and headed back to attempt to catch the 12:45 shuttle...we had minutes to spare! We were shuttled to the hotel and were able to check in early...no feather problems this time! We have been reading and watching TV and resting. Woody is supposed to be drinking lots. All-in-all our day has run like clockwork! We will shuttle back to NIH tomorrow morning...turn in hotel and travel vouchers and wait to be seen during the afternoon clinic time. As soon as we are through seeing his research team, we will hop in the car and head back towards TN stopping somewhere in VA for the night. Heading back upstairs to relax...ensconced on Pooks Hill in Bethesda, MD!
