Dr. Report

The report from the visit to Dr. Harbison.

It had been six months since he last saw Mother. He checked her out thoroughly, and was not concerned about the discoloration of her toe. He recommended two things. He said he thought she should stay on the Coumadin, and that we should make an appt with her oncologist because the last time she was seen by that doctor was a year ago.

Mother has no problem going to the doctor. She is comfortable with all stages of the trip - the elevator ride, the hallway trek, waiting for her name to be called, sitting in the exam room. She was able to cooperate with all of Dr. Harbison's requests. Margaret was amazed by how relaxed she was.

Mother always liked Kaiser. She secured lifetime Kaiser coverage for herself (& Glen) when she became a civil servant. She planned to get the quality healthcare she now receives.

The discoloration of her toe seems to be going away.
