I feel it is a good day.

We stayed in Shreveport, LA last night.  It was in a casino/hotel on the river.  The room was nice, the food was good, and the casino was clean.  It was not my preferred style of casino and it was not wheelchair friendly, but was clean and the people were very nice.  Today we finish driving home with a stop in south Arkansas so we can visit family.

The chest X-ray was negative for broken bones.  Dr Iyre said my lungs sound clear, which is good, but I still have the nagging urge to cough.  There are a few possible reasons and I will follow up with my local doctor.

Today includes a stop in Little Rock at the UAMS pathology department.  I will pick my 'slides' from my tumor removal last August.  Apparently it is unusual for a patient to pickup their own slides.  The doctor's nurse told me it wasn't possible. I spoke to the pathology department directly and the person had to check a few things.  The person in pathology called me this morning to say it was ready for pickup.  I guess there are no rules against it.  Good for me.

We left Shreveport about an hour ago.  It was cloudy and gloomy as we drove away from the hotel.  We're currently driving north on highway 79 and the sun is fighting its way through the clouds. The road is clear of traffic and feels like it will be a good day.

I'll end with that.
