Monday Michelle, a registered nurse, came to our home to have Will fill out a whole battery of state-mandated forms. One look at Will’s signature erased any doubts to whether or not Will was destined to be a doctor. Michelle could recognize that hen-scratching anywhere. Will is the third doctor who has had a stroke that Dr. Edgely has treated.
Michelle said she would talk to Dr. Edgely about getting Will’s peg tube out. The peg tube was inserted in Ohio when it was discovered Will couldn’t eat. No one was counting on a milk-shake and some e-stems to catapult Will’s eating muscles back into full service, except Will. He knew he’d rather be eating a hamburger than being wakened in the night to have a stranger pour mystery liquids into his peg-tube. It’s amazing what the human spirit can achieve given the alternatives.
