5/12 Update


We went for his 8:00 a.m. transplant clinic appointment. He wasn't happy about getting up early, but wasn't as surly about it as he was to the nurses in the hospital. We've now come back to the apartment, and he went back to sleep. The cable tv isn't working, so I guess he felt he had no alternative but to go back to bed. I'm' trying to catch up on two weeks' worth of work.


Both Jake and Jen are achy from their scars, but there hasn't been much of a problem with them climbing the stairs to the apartment.


Gainesville is a traffic challenge. We are staying in the northwest portion of the city, and it's a hassle to drive anywhere. The city is laid out in a grid, but they really don't have primary East/West or North/South corridors. The primary avenues still have traffic lights on virtually every corner, so they don't flow well. For a college town, there's a conspicuous lack of traffic engineering. UF is mostly out for the summer, and I'm told that it is much, much worse when that school is in session. One of the nurses told us she's from Ft. Lauderdale, and is thinking of moving back because the traffic is so bad here.
