She is home and resting while awaiting an appointment with a specialist. Luckily we were able to grab an appointment to see the head of the foot/ankle department of the Cleveland Clinic (thanks to a well placed referral from a friend).

Some :rolleyes: moments:

1) The admissions person asking for copayment minutes after we arrived and well before she was stabilized. Not only was it poor timing, but it gave the impression that they were not going to proceed without it.

2) Same admissions person questioning the fact that we have different last names.

3) I almost hurled while watching them set and wrap her leg. Thank god she was in dreamland for that experience.

There's that Discovery show that slows everything down...fascinating to watch bullets impact objects and stuff like that. I think they had one where they had the process of bacon hitting a hot griddle.

We went to the Palm for lunch; which was good but I resented paying $4 to valet.

...PBI has free wifi, so I normally pass on the CRC unless I have a long wait due to a delayed inbound.

It's also close enough to all of my family who live in the AUS/IAH/SAT area of Texas, but far enough away that I don't have to feel like I live in the Festering Pit again.

We haven't said anything to friends or family, so I suppose this is a Box Exclusive™. :eek:

I had never been to Palm before Saturday. I need to find someone to take me places like that.

220.. 221.. whatever it takes. :)

And we would be happy to welcome you here. AUS is a great place to live. The Festering Pit is 150 miles down the road.. editing.. or Parmer Lane.. or RR drive. That's all I have to say. ;)

Indeed. I grew up in the Houston area and always enjoyed AUS. My wife even more so now that we visit a couple of times a year. It's going to be an interesting couple of months. :)

I thought the lunch special was a good value. $19 for three courses plus a side. BL JR had to have chocolate cake and the piece was enormous. She ate a few tiny bites and we brought the rest home. I think it probably serves 8 people :eek:

I had the cream of asparagus soup, beef tenderloins with half-and-half, and key lime pie. ^ And I was one of two customers, so I got a lot of attention.

I had a few bites of the key lime pie and it was amazing.
