Take a few calls; work at desk. Beth by to pick me up at 10:00. To Deloris Hope out patient one-day surgery and prepare for Dr. Karl Shultz to put a two-way port in my chest for Loma Linda procedure next week. Well, guess what. I have too much scar tissue in my chest (both sides) from previous ports. No port today though I still had an hour or so in the recovery room and after a slice of pizza, I went down for nap while Beth went back to work. Up at 4:30 and get it together. Beth home and she's had no luck with Loma Linda returning calls. Even my own dr. Stone was no help today. So here we sit at 7:00 o'clock without any further plan to get this port installed so I can begin these treatment at Loma Linda next Monday.
