Been a Long Day!

I'm still gathering my thoughts about our long day out and about! It was a typical Vanderbilt day...many hours on the road and then waiting time to see a doctor and then fairly short time actually seeing the doctor! Except for the nice visit with Melany this visit could have very easily been a telemed. He talked with Woody and Melany (she's been his patient for 25 years with her Crohn's) and filled in a medical student on Woody's history...then told Woody he wanted to have him come back for an endoscope to make sure that the bleeding arterial ulcer was ok and that there were no more problems in his stomach! So we have that appointment coming up mid July...that appointment we need to go to Vandy...this one we did not! About the length of time...We left the house at 10:15am and returned at 5:15pm...too long. The only stops were to pick Melany up, go into Vandy, drop Melany off, and a quick drive thru at Taco Bell for soft tacos for Woody and a coke for me with the last stop being home! The traffic wasn't bad going in...a little clogged due to lunch hour in the area near Vandy. Leaving Vanderbilt around three, the traffic had picked up and we had several slow downs on interstates back to Melany's. My leg of the drive home had a couple of slow downs but not too bad. We were both glad to get home! Then an hour later we headed to prayer meeting. We got home and Woody headed right to his sofa/bed...said he was sleepy...wonder why!?! Hopefully we will both sleep well after our day on the road so we will be ready to get up with the birds in the morning for another dialysis day. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
