A Quick Blood Draw Check

How can it be that Roland's regular doctor lives just a few blocks from us?  He is happy to receive our calls.  It feels like something out of "Little House on the Prairie."  Last night Roland began to wonder if perhaps he was having an ulcer which would be problematic since he is on blood thinners.   His doctor told him to get a certain over the counter medicine and to pick up lab orders at his house this morning. We stopped by his house and he came out to the car with a finger pulse oximeter to check on him.   We were able to get the labs done today and the doctor gave us the results in the afternoon over the phone.  We feel like VIPs.  The results? Everything is normal for someone who has undergone this adventure.  Whew!
