MD visit

The doctor's visit this morning/afternoon went fine. Dr. Skibber gave us the okay to return to Charleston! Yay! We have to come back in one month for a follow-up and to remove the last of Mark's stitches that stay in 6 weeks, but everyone in the clinic was thrilled with Mark's progress. The plastics people removed one of the drains in his leg, so there is only one left. That will probably have to stay a while, because there is still significant output. But, overall, we are very pleased. Next step: getting on a plane. The flight tonight is "sold out" although there are some seats available. Sorta. The seats available are "premium" seats that we can't exchange our tickets for. The travel agent at Anderson encouraged us to call Continental this afternoon and see if they have released those seats. If so, we come home tonight. We do have reservations on tomorrow night's flight, so worst possible case we'll be in our beds tomorrow night. I really, really, really want to come home tonight. It will depend on airline logic, so anything goes. We'll post again this afternoon to let everyone knows how this goes. Family in Charleston----we may be looking for a ride tonight; we'll call you later.
