The drive home on I-45 was similar to the drive down, just not as pretty. The sky went from blue to gray to black. Not really any pretty colors like during the sunrise.
I left the hotel parking garage at about 2:10 and got home at about 7:23. I had two stops, one for gas, and one for dinner. I ate at a Subway (thanks Life Group) near I-20 and I-45. The only problem was that it was 5:30 or so. I stopped to let traffic wind down a bit. It was less than a 30 minute stop and got into downtown at about 6:10 or so. That is when the traffic started and it could have been worse. It took about an hour to get home from downtown during rush hour. I did not think that was too bad at all. I just would not want to do that every day.
MD Anderson went well. The shuttle dropped me off with over an hour to spare. So I did some more exploring. This time I stayed away from nuclear medicine. I found a couple of new lobby areas. One was the ‘fountain’ and the other was the ‘park’ MD Anderson also has the aquarium, sundial, and the gazebo. I also found another gift shop, florist, and many places to eat. I also explored the patient library there and checked out a book too.
The time with the doctor confused me because I remembered something wrong from the last time I was there, so that threw me into a tailspin. I was wrong? She did confirm the diagnosis, and that was the main point of me going down. The next step is to get treatment lined up. I have place calls to the local doctor to get that started. I also hope to hear the results of the bone marrow biopsy.
