The Dr. looked at the computer screen at the foot xrays and they were fine, no issues. He looked at the xrays of the spine for a looooooong time and than he said "I'm going to my office to look at the xrays from surgery day that were taken". He was gone about 20 minutes and when he returned, he asked me to come to his office where the visual equipment is better for seeing the xrays of June 29.. What he showed me were pictures taken and the interpretation was that "heres the end of the screw in the fusion cage" and here's the landmark behind the spine to measure from... and than we looked at the xray of today and the landmark and the bone space between the screw was quite large..
So he said they would order a CT scan (a 3 minute) procedure and let me know.... On Monday early afternoon I called in leaving a message as to what had been decided.. Not long after that the Temple Imaging facility in Signal Hill called us for an appt in an hour... so they had just been called and called me to set it up. Ha Ha typical way things go. So Thursday had that and am now just waiting for them to call with an appt time to come in and discuss what he sees on the CT scan and what he/they have decided or come up with to FIX this one and for all and for ever. you know me and my impatience, i will call as soon as there lunch break is over and ask them "whats up".. as I'm the one in pain, I notice the amount of time that goes by. Yes I realize the dr is out on Monday's for surgeries.. but "HEY I'm waiting".
Last week Friday, I took notice of the gray dress pants that I laid across the bannister 7 weeks ago on my way out the door for the hospital that they needed to be brought to the dry cleaner. Saturday we had a wedding to go to and so now it was crunch time.. So Friday he brought them in to get them back on Saturday morning and he had to pay extra... ha,, but what do you expect huh?
Saturday at noon we were invited to the wedding of friends Steve and Ronda whose son Chris (same age as Ashley) was marrying Jaime Lindsay. Was a beautiful and simplistic wedding and the message was right on about marriage and yet so very right on about the couple and that they were meant for each other and will serve each other and the Lord with their hearts fully and they share a quirky sense of humor and each brings out the best of the other. Chris's younger brother Eric and Jaime's younger sister Sara being the same age, and about 4 years ago, Sara came over to the Dunhams for a get together of school kids. Sara meets Chris through Eric and she says "you should date my sister" and he says "okay" and the rest is history. The reception was in the church activity center and yet a formal table setting on about 25 round tables, a dance floor and the long table facing the guests of the bridal party.
We stayed through the reception to the start of the dance and at 3 hours I was pretty tired and the burning in the foot was increasing. It was a beautiful afternoon celebrating this couple.
