We are in Portland and Joey is now staple free...Yeah!!  He is felling good enough to turn around and head back home.  Joey's appt went really and Dr. Rutstein told him she did not need to see him until the day after my surgery.  This will make it easier on our schedule, too.  We talked with her about Joey's pain and she has put him on the track to get him comfortable.   We are with Cameron right now and grabbing something to eat before hitting the highway.   Talk to you all once we get back home!
