I guess everyone needs a vacation...

So Dad's staging labs were drawn last week. The only thing is that Dr. Kazhdan is on VACATION! At least someone gets a vacation. She is getting a much deserved and needed week off in Cancun. In the meantime we will have to wait to hear about Dad's staging.

The weather in San Antonio has changed. A huge cold front came through yesterday. Dad made it to work on Monday and was going in on Tuesday except for the cold front. With the sudden drop in temperature from the 80s to the 40s Dad thought it would be better to stay indoors. I don't think his joints tolerate sudden changes in temperature. The last time his gout flared on him there was a cold front. So instead Dad had to settle for having a conference call and sending emails from home. When we talked yesterday he was frustrated with the cardiologist's office. They have drawn lipid (AKA fat) levels on his blood several times. Each time, they told dad that the labs weren't done or weren't sent. One time...no problem, but now this has happened more than once making Dad very frustrated.

I talked with Dad this morning before he went to work. He said he had a good night, which makes me relieved. I was worried his knee would swell and cause him pain, but thankfully no. Hopefully when Dr. Kazhdan gets back we will have some great news! In the meantime Dr. K----enjoy the sun!!
