I've been on the phone for a while.  Mom's Monday test showed an esophageal stricture for which her doctor wants her to see a gastroenterologist.  I've talked to her, the gastro's office, her primary doc's office, and her again.  We're all set for Monday, Nov. 18.
I've also talked to a nice young lady at Artie's, who made a reservation in the name of Palmer for 6pm next Wednesday, November 13.  I told her 8 people because that's the only way I could get her to note that we'd like the big table in the back.
