baby steps. Better than no steps.

Well, saw the G.I. doc today. Not a bad guy. Wears a bow tie, which I think is pretty cool. He is also a native of Massachusetts (the accent was a dead giveaway). He pretty much admitted that it was his staff that dropped the ball when it came to the miscommunication over what this appointment was supposed to be. He explained how the procedure is supposed to go and what to expect from it. The funniest part is that while he was explaining everything to us he was doing his exam of me. Apparently that went right over Katie's head, because when he was done explaining he told us we were done and could go, she looked at him and asked, "I thought you wanted to examine him?" To which, both the doc and I had to tell her that he did the exam while he was talking to us.

His office set the procedure for the feeding tube insertion for this Friday afternoon. They will call us with an exact time sometime Thursday. Like I said, baby steps...

Pardon me for actually listening intently to the man, and not paying as much attention to where his hands were!

I kinda had to pay attention to that. You never know, he might have been a former priest or something. ;-)
