LIFE FORCE

DSCN5281
A picture on the ceiling of reception area of clinic where dad had his interview. I would have loved to lie on the floor and take a real picture of it.  The message was reminding us how far we have come in medicine, but I sat primly in my chair and looked well behaved.  I think you can look the part when deep down you know you are not.

 First a lovely young doctor took him into the examining room to do all his vital signs.  From the top of his head to the bottom of his toes he had a through examination. 
The concern was more than just the T.I.A.’s or the amnesia but for how the life force that is our blood flows through his body,  She was pleased with his answers and then ask the neurology doctor to look at the results and talk things over.

There may be something he can rub on to help the pain in his feet but he has to go see his own doctor.

He may have to go to the Peace Arch Hospital for a test with dye that will show how his energy flows through his body.

His vitality was given a boast when he was treated respectfully.

Even though we were tired we took Haiti for a walk in the Water Shed Park.  We had gone Sunday afternoon with Carol and Haiti enjoyed it s much she nearly chased a squirrel up a tree.  Dad had a firm hand on the leash.  The sun was giving a last glow to our path  and would  soon disappear. 

I like it in there  but the ground is so uneven it makes me nervous.

But I feel like we are in an enchanted forest so it is well worth it.

Sounds like you guys have finally gotten to the right place to get some help. Such a hot day yesterday I can see why you would want to walk in the woods.

We had our alarm go off at 1 in the morning but could not find any sign of bugurlars. The alarm would not reset though and so I did not sleep the rest of the night listening.

Well it sounds as though Larry got a thorough examination at the doctors office. I find those young residents really do a great job. Just had one recently before I saw the specialist. The teaching doctors are the best! So glad they treated Larry with respect.

We had a long wait today to see Carl's specialist and Carl was cranky while there....then another long wait at the lab waiting for blood work to be done

So glad you had walk in the Water Shed Park...it really helps to de-stress us....Max. Bella and I are off shortly for a walk, even though I am tired.

Have a good sleep tonight,Beth.

love, Nancy
