Back Among the Living

Yesterday was stomach affliction day. I went to the doctor's office at 4pm and by the time I got done, all the ultrasound people had gone home, even from the emergency room. Los Alamos Medical Center has no ultrasound exams available in the emergency room after hours. I may get an abdominal ultrasound next week.

On the WRSC hike today, Eve told me that after hours, there is no one to read an x-ray in the emergency room. It's sent digitally to Australia and in an hour, you have the results. (I like Eve - she's human, real and will talk to you.)

The group hiked the Potrillo Canyon Trail but Mary didn't go out to the end, even though they were very close, because she had to get back early for a potluck at the senior center. After I got sick, I wasn't planning to go on the senior center hike but I woke up without the alarm at 6am and felt no stomach pains so I decided to go.

Anyway, after an afternoon and evening of stomach pains and throwing up, it's good to be back among the living again! This last happened like this in August 2008 while on vacation.
