It's been a busy day for E and Froggie! Seeing doctors, signing papers, going places throughout the NIH, trying to fix problems. One problem is that the bed has been very cranky. The foot of the bed goes up; the head of the bed doesn't. If you like sleeping upside-down, this place is for you. E tried hard to make the bed work properly but, alas, it remained uncooperative. The doctors, and the nurses, have fortunately been much more cooperative than the beds. They have said lots of things that Froggie and her friend Pat like to hear.
E and his friend Greg went to their last day of the conference, learning about biomarkers and estimation of renal function in adults, children, and E coli. Ask Greg to tell you about it sometime, when you are having trouble falling asleep.
Froggie is in good spirits, and though not looking forward to surgery, feels she has a good handle on what is coming. The nurses have been very nice and helpful, and the doctors have been quite good at explaining what is going to happen. She has done her preps and blood tests and E thinks she is the bravest lady there is.
Froggie and E sign permits.
More to come.
Greg
