As much as I love hanging out with Jason, I am starting to feel badly for him. Dr. Kutte overestimated his ability to get Medicare to budge on their 40 day rule. We are here until Sunday at least and he has work issues, Christmas issues, Lori to think about, and a full plate here in Kearney. Kutte offered to prescribe a temporary "life belt defibrillator" but we mostly wish he had been more realistic at the get-go.
Life at Good Samaritan Hospital continues to be good for me. We are getting more good blood pressure numbers than bad. The Cardio-rehab lady assured me that after my procedure I would likely find a portion of life away from the tether of an oxygen tank. That was nice to hear even if it turns out to be blarney from Kearney.
