clinic day

Not too much to say. Today was Spina Bifida Clinic for Harris and he got a good report from all 2 million doctors and specialists who he sees on this fine annual check-up. The dietician reports that he needs more calcium (tums will work) and the orthopedic doc added ten minutes of stretching to his daily list of to-do's cuz his ankles are getting tight.
His tests all went well except he lost his religion when they drew blood...this is something new they do to check for renal failure since a couple of their kids suddenly went into renal failure with no warning. He seriously lost his damn (pardon me) mind and couldn't really get over the offense. Long after the blood was drawn, while Harris continued to lament his pain, my mom said, "Harris, maybe it still hurts because they wrapped that gauze around your arm too tightly?" To which he replied in a bitter tone, "Or maybe that lady stuck a needle in my arm!"
