Seeing Dr. P

We had an appointment with Dr. P this afternoon at 3:45.  It was just a routine checkup where Dr. P looked at Steve's incision.  It was really quick visit.  In fact, we were out of the office and in the elevator by 4:00.  Dr. P said his incision was healing nicely and to keep up the wet to dry bandages.  He told Steve that when he felt well, he was to get out and move around more.  Steve told him that when he was really active his side hurt and had a cramping feeling.  Dr. P told him that was normal and he still needed to be more active when he felt better.  He thought the fall would be better for him to get out and about.  We do not have to go back to see him until the last week in September.

While in Springfield we went out to eat.  We ate at a Japanese Steakhouse called Hinode.  It was excellent.  The girls have been there many times, but this is the first time we have gone.  We had the works and believe me, we are stuffed like dog ticks.  I suggest if you get the opportunity, you go and eat there, but make sure you are really hungry or you will be bringing home a take home box stuffed with tomorrow's lunch and supper.  He slept all the way home and went straight to bed.  Aubree was home and wound up so he did not get his nap right away.  In fact, I think it was probably 7:30 or so before he actually got to sleep.  I think he will sleep the rest of the night.  He will be up late tomorrow because we have an MRI tomorrow at St. John's

My mom came by for a visit today.  She got here at 10:30 and left at 11:00.  It was a nice visit and a nice meal fixed by Steve aka Chef Boyardee.
