Medical Day
Shortly after I returned from having breakfast at the Wigwam this morning, Lisa came in and let me know that while her knee was doing okay, her shoulder, which she had also injured in the process of installing the new bathroom door, was getting worse, and would I please take her over to Fernley Urgent Care?
We got there not long after they opened at 9 AM, but they said that there were already 15 people ahead of us and suggested that we go home, make an appointment, and come back then. So we did. I made an appointment online for 12:30 PM. Lisa laid down for a while and I did a run to Grocery Outlet for milk and other perishables.
We returned to Urgent Care by 12:30. Ninety minutes later, they finally got to Lisa. There they examined her and took X-rays. The good news: nothing broken. The bad news: they wanted to do an MRI and Fernley doesn't have the equipment. The good news: Renown Reno could see Lisa this afternoon.
Armed with the referral from Fernley Urgent Care, and after a brief stop back home, Lisa and I headed for south Reno and the Renown Health Imaging center, where they saw Lisa slightly before her 4:45 appointment time. Around 45 minutes later, the MRI was complete. Lisa said she enjoyed the experience. We then went to Raley's and got some more groceries and came home. I then redeemed the Pizza Hut Rewards points I had to get us a large pizza for dinner.
We'll know more about her shoulder, we hope, on Monday. Lisa suspects a rotator cuff injury. Here's hoping that it's something that doesn't require surgery.
