Referred

I guess you could say that we are back in the Vanderbilt loop...being passed from one doctor to another. Dr. Wyman didn't want to make any orthopedic decisions so is turning Woody over to an oncology orthopedist. And, we were very pleased that he recommended that we see the same orthopedist who treated/operated on the cancer tumor in his upper arm bone--Dr. Ginger Holt. That was way back in 2009. Dr. Wyman said that we needed to find out if we are dealing with dead bone (radiated bone that has died) or cancer in the bone. We walked into the clinic to register today and thought that we might be there for hours and hours...the line just to do the initial registration was out the door and into the hall. But we were through in record time. We were actually walking out of Dr. Wyman's exam room at the time of Woody's scheduled appointment with him. We were very favorably impressed with Dr. Wyman. We got called back to Dr. Wyman's exam room before we even got seated in the waiting room. Woody was doing a bit of huffing and puffing by that time and at that point a wheel chair was gotten for him...a much appreciated wheel chair! He stayed in the wheel chair till we went out to get in our car that the vallet parking brought back to us. We were home a little after six and left around 12:30...so for a Vandy trip...not bad! We came home and pulled out the leftovers from yesterday's Memorial Day feast...an easy meal. On our way home we kept up with Elijah's game by me texting with Kathy. His team had another good game. Their season is drawing to a close...just this week and next for games and then a tournament after that. We are now settled in for an uneventful evening...or so we hope! We are waiting for Dr. Holt's office to call us with the appointment day and time that we will go back to see her.
