We got some good news yesterday- my dear friend Frank is an ER physician in Richmond, and knows personally the colorectal surgeon Joe's been referred to. I think that's hugely positive. Joe won't be a number to this guy, and Frank said he's a great surgeon. So: hooray on that front!

CT Scan results tonight. Joe called for them earlier, but the nurse or whoever said Dr. Keate wants to talk to him personally. I don't like the sound of that, but Joe said the person on the phone said Dr. Keate always does this- doesn't mean anything is wrong.

Dr. Keate knows to call after 6. Joe won't be able to get to my house until probably 7. PLEASE Dr Keate call after 7....

I'll put some photos of Joe and I up soon. Sorry- I suck at blogging!
