I had set my alarm for 6:45 am, I thought but I forgot to set back the time on the clock (Fall Back) so I woke up at 5:45 am. Boy, did I hear it from Dee. She could not sleep to well because I had the windows a cracked to let in some fresh air and plus the room was quite warm. The city traffic never stopped and the bus stop on Centre Ave was right below our window. You could hear the Bus’s air brakes each time they stopped. It reminded me of the old steam locomotives with all the hissing sound. I was waiting to hear the conductor to say, “All aboard”. You also could heard the bus take off. I got use to it, but Dee was a different story. She said she woke up every 10 to 15 minutes all night.
Anyway, we got ourselves together and headed over to Ritter’s Diner for some breakfast. We had our usual, eggs and home fries with a side of bacon, and a coffee to wash it down. After breakfast we went back to the Family House and checked out and were at the Hillman Center by 8:30 am. We were ahead of schedule. I checked in and had my blood work done. We then went to terminal D where I had a once over from Jan the physician assistant. I asked for an official copy of my CT scan for my files. I always like to see things in writing.
My next appointment was at Shadyside Hospital to have my PICC Line put in. This was my ultimate test to see if I knew the right procedure for admission to Shadyside. The last two times things got all screwed up.
So, we are off to Shadyside using the internal bridge to get there. I hope there are no trolls along the way.
