Jeri had a great session with the therapists this morning, she walked around the block, no I don't mean a city block I mean the block that is by the therapy room, which is more than she has walked in a very long time. Jeri can even tell that she is getting stronger.
Lee picked us up about eleven and took us out to Mountain Medical where Jeri had an Ultra Sound on her arms so 'they' could tell which arm is the better on to install a Fistula, which are ports for dialysis treatment. After the Ultra Sound was finished she met with a PA and then with Dr. Whitten. Dr. Whitten told her why it is better to have a fistula than the kind of hook-up that she is now using and that it will keep the infections down and it makes a better port for the dialysis machine. She is going to have it done on January 8th at the Saint Marks Hospital; I got the idea he didn't like IMC at all. Starting today she can not have in shot or other thing punched into her left arm; that is the one that the fistula will be embedded in. The Doctor gave her a prescription and some instructions to give to the crew at SDCH, which she did.
It snowed almost all day long but the freeway was not icy but we saw a couple of wrecks as we went to 5300 South and then returned to Bountiful. After we got back to the facility Lee helped Jeri get into her room and onto her bed; the trek took at least two hours and maybe more. I don't know what we would do with Lee to take us and Jayci letting us use her car, which is excellent for Jeri and the wheelchair, we will be forever grateful for the help our family has, and will, give us while our sojourn her on this earth.
It took me several minutes to get the car warm enough to melt the ice on the windows and the wipers so they could wipe the moisture off the windows and I just kind of moysed home because the road were not with out some snow and most of the drivers are not very concerned about how fast or slow they drive; 'they' are saying we are going to get a bigger storm tomorrow. I hope they are as wrong on the forecast as the one that come today was supposed to be her tonight and tomorrow.
