Tom turned 38 today!! To celebrate, we met his parents at O'Charley's on Harbison for a late lunch. It was very nice. We had a very good time.
After we left his parents, Brittanie, Cameron, and I headed to the ER at Baptist to have a doctor look at her foot. The doctor thinks she has a stress fracture, which takes about to week to show up on an x-ray. Well no insurance is going to cover a cast when no fracture is showing up on the x-ray. So he put her in a splint and gave her crutches and told her not to walk on it for a week then go see Dr. Ugino and have her x-rays redone. We got home around 9:30pm.
Let me just say that I have been to several ER's and we usually go to Lexington Medical Center ER, which is weird because when it comes to surgery or anything else, we always choose Baptist. This is Brittanie's first trip to Baptist ER and it was a very pleasant experience. They are very professional and organized. The staff was very courteous. The waiting room wasn't full of thugs like you may expect being a downtown hospital. I was impressed that they took her vitals and talked to her about what the problem was and everything BEFORE getting her insurance information. That let me know that we were people to them and not money. And before we left, our nurse thanked us for chosing them for treatment. They made us feel like we were valued. That is very much lacking in the healthcare systems these days. I hope we never have to make another ER trip, but if we do, we will definitely be going back to Baptist.
