Went with Scotty back to Bellevue for a CAT-scan yesterday morning to find out how his spine is healing after the surgery. Basically this will tell us whether or not he needs to continue wearing his brace when sitting up in his chair. His doctors seem to think he's ready and this will tell them for sure.
Heesok called as we climbed into the ambulance:
Everything went off as planned and we were back in the Bronx by just after 1pm.
This was actually the second try--first was on Wednesday while I was out of town. Scotty said the transport was 4 hours late picking him up. Brad (Roberts) was visiting then and ended up riding with him, making up songs in the ambulance as per a request from Scotty's nurse Carmen--while Leif waited at Bellevue, practicing his diminished scales till they finally arrived. After another 3 hours in the waiting area there, they sent him back to Beth Abraham un-scanned. At least it was a tuneful afternoon...
But all wrongs have been righted now, although the event was a little less musical this time around. Both the Head of Neurology and the doctor who assisted in his surgery greeted us when we arrived. It was very clear to me how much these guys care about him. And the whole thing was over in an hour or so.
It's Memorial Day weekend here so I guess we won't hear results till Tuesday, but I will keep you posted.
