Mike and I headed to see a new Doctor today. He can go to Sutter for emergencies (which he did THREE TIMES THIS YEAR!!!!), but insurance won't cover a regular appointment. We needed to start Mike in the Mercy system. He got SO LUCKY to be assigned a doctor we both REALLY like. Let's just say, this guy gets MAJOR points for showing no reaction when they had this conversation:
Dr: So why are you here today?
Mike: Well I have this spot on my head that I need to see if it's skin cancer (it's not)
Dr: Is there anything else?
Mike: Oh, you probably need to see this gunshot wound on my side.
He's going to see him again in two weeks to check on how his different meds are working and how his healing is coming along.
After that we went and got a protein loaded Jamba juice and bought a bucket size container of protein from GNC. Time to get some healthy calories in this man.
I then decided to take Mike to get his first Pedicure. His feet were so GNARLY from the hospital. It was either spring for a pedicure or continue to watch the dry "scales" on his feet leave a trail as they fell off throughout the house. He loved every bit of it except the "tickle- torture" part. When she was scrubbing the bottoms of his feet he couldn't stop laughing. He was complaining how he could NEVER do it again cuz it was the most horrible thing ever!!. I ask "really Mike, your feet getting tickled is the worst thing that's ever happened to you"? I joined in the pedicure and got a beautiful mermaid-esque turquoise blue called. "Catch Me In Your Net". Mike opted for "a la naturel".
We had some lunch and then went to Mike's first session with our counselor. She's the one that Sam and I have been seeing. He was trying to get into see her after he was assaulted at the lake by a nut job back in July. He'd been having nightmares about the guy clear up until he was shot. So, now this new episode obviously adds to the necessity of Mike getting some extra help.
Love to all,
Lorrie
