ADVENTURES IN HEALTH CARE


and the ensuing afternoon


Today was our meeting with the oncologist - get the low down on radiation in your low down. I'm telling you these specialists with their nurses and PA's are really restoring my faith the the medical community. The exact opposite of the get them in get them out cattle call of a trip to your family doctor. Ours today could not have been more nice , spending almost an hour with us - going above and beyond answering questions , really reassuring us and AT LAST telling us what to to.

Neil is not a candidate at all for radiation treatment , and we will be going in for surgery in early July. Turns out with the new forms of surgery that the seeding and external radiation are for men who for what ever reason, health, age, mobility can not handle surgery . She explained more than even the last doctors did - even though we will be using them. More info when I get it.

She was a very kind lady from Shanghai who thought my accent, which I forget I have - was British.

 The view , again, from the parking deck of Highland Hospital

 That guy on that building in downtown Rochester

 Hit our summer home away from home to pick up the Episcopalian group tickets

 The ticket guy, whose name I never can remember - he was just the new Parker for a while, hut that was now , years ago - we did get a little Redwings goodie bag - always a nice touch.


 The Susan B Anthony / Fredrick Douglas Bridge

 What do most folks do after leaving their cancer doctor ? Take a walk around a lovely historic grave yard! It is not as weird as it sounds, they more or less use it as a park up in Rochester, and there are some beautiful vistas .
 Susan B Anthony's grave site - It is not just out by itself, like this photo looks
 its in a big Anthony family plot.
On election day folks come and stick their I VOTED stickers on here-
Im more that sure she loves that

 I loved this tree

 Then we had lunch with the mens
 A so-so burger. I wanted Indian buffet, but was over ruled

and hit the new Wegmans.

All out and about and home before late afternoon.
