We get up this morning early. Chris and I have to take Dad to Dr. Miller's office today. He looks at the wound and says it looks great. He takes out every other staple. He tells Dad what foods to avoid (celery and sweet potatoes among others) and schedules a follow up appointment for Thursday to remove the rest of the staples. We leave his office and realize we didn't bring anything to eat! It turns out to be a bit of a problem. My dad has to eat every 1 1/2-2 hours to keep up his strength and calories. We go to Panera and can't eat anything. Who would have thought most of their sandwiches are premade? We go home and I make a small meal for my dad. We eat and talk.
