Every time we see a doctor we are forced to make another appointment in the next week. It must be a rule. Ken had another procedure with the skin surgeon to have two more cancers removed from his legs. The stitches were removed on his forehead too. He will have one big scar and one small scar, which Ken says is no problem. Now we must come back in two weeks to have the stitches removed in the legs. He is again holding ice packs on the two wound for 10 minutes of every waking hour. And he must keep his legs up and elevated.
This afternoon we both had appointments with the Cardiologist, Dr. Cotton. We like him. But now we must have another appointment before leaving for Mexico to have two tests: an echo cardio gram for Ken and an ultrasound of the right carotid artery for me. So our days will be filled with more appointments.
Fortunately, Kate is home from University so we have hired her to drive us. Having grandchildren is always a blessing, but having a granddaughter who is willing to drive us is a true blessing. And we get to visit with her too. Kate picked us up this morning at 6:30 in order for Ken to make his 7:00 appointment. She waited with us and drove us home. This afternoon, she came back at 1:45 to get us to our appointment at 2:30. On the way home we stopped for prescriptions. Next week I have appointments on 4 different days and Kate will drive me each time. With the surgery on both legs, Ken would have difficulty driving me but Kate is saving the day. Ken and I are fortunate to have Kate so willing to help. I feel pampered and I like it.
