Iris' view

What a day. Health is still the same. A bit sore from yesterday's procedure. Errands and breakfast with my friend Marilyn. She was sweet to do that. And it is SO appreciated!!! I had to get the gift to Geena, the Primacare nurse, who first took care of me on May 9th. Then off to visit Dr. John for another adjustment. This one I don't think worked as well as the first. Kind of felt funny the rest of the day.

About Iris though...she's not too thrilled about Vegas' return. She's on the run again. LOL!

Ouchie!

Today was exciting. A thin needle biopsy on my thyroid. Very interesting! You do EXACTLY what people tell you to do when you have needles going into your neck! You betcha!

All the folks at Baylor Roberts Hospital Radiology were fabulous! My nurse Marilyn was so incredibly sweet and kind and attentive. Dr. Yang performed the procedure. Young, personable, cute and thorough. Oh! And human! The best part. Comic relief provided by Gene. (don't know really what he does there). And I was lucky enough to have Dr. Ford - head of the residency program there - pop in for a view! I was in VERY good hands!

Dave in recovery, spelled things out perfectly and was great at explaining everything.

I haven't blogged my other procedures at this point, but Baylor has impressed us with their attention to customer/patient care. Very refreshing. With two procedures done, if any more happen to be needed, I actually look forward to going! Wow! That's a big statement for hospital care! Here's a bit about their philosophy on their residents program.

So, other than some minor pain. Everything went well. Except for me nearly fainting, but that was just me...tomorrow is a new day! Results in 3 to 5 working days and we will take it from there!

She's back


Been up all night

Well, yesterday Greg went to pick up Vegas and bring her home from "board and train". The "train" part of that...well, I don't know if that happened too much. But she is aware of "the Clicker" now. Still jumps and nips! OUCH!

But it is great to have her back. She slept in her kennel all night. A VERY good thing. Tessa and Ozzie are wagging their tails again. I think they missed her too. The cats? Not so much. LOL!

I can't wait to get better and take her for a walk!!!!
Welcome Home Miss Vegas!
