Today was our appointment with Amy's pain mgmt clinic in Denver. (When we checked out after our 23 Dec appt we were told to make a follow up with the Medtronics dept and they scheduled it for today at 10:30.) So we took Amy out of school and headed north only to be told she had no appt. The Medtronics people weren't even there today...they'd cancelled all appts! Gee, we never got the word on that one. They double checked with the Dr and he said he only wanted us to see Medtronics down the road AFTER her lumbar injection procedure. Guess the person who read his handwriting on 23 Dec misinterpreted that and therein lies the confusion. So it was a frustrating day in that regard.
The good news? We were able to visit with Jeni, a sweet friend who works in the NICU at Children's Hospital right next door, and it was wonderful to see her. Afterward we headed to Johnson & Wales so Amy could visit the campus for the first time with an incoming student's eyes. We walked the campus a bit, bought a few things at the bookstore from a really "hot" guy (Amy's words, not mine!), and she tried on a chef jacket and saw the uniforms that are issued to incoming freshmen. Next on the agenda was a quick trip across town to see Laura for a few minutes. We took her to lunch and the grocery and heard all about her new social life as an RA, which clearly agrees with her. She looks good and it was wonderful to wrap our arms around her.
So yeah, the day started out a bit frustrating, but the good outweighed the bad for sure. Guess that's our silver lining for today!
