There's an older movie called Doc Hollywood starring Michael J Fox. He wants to be a plastic surgeon in California and on his way across country finds himself stranded in a podunk town in the middle of nowhere. Well, once he gets to California, the office he goes to work in is very posh and almost futuristic. Well, the Clampits, I mean Palmers went to the plastic surgeon this week and it reminded me of that movie. It's located in the Amway Grand Plaza with valet parking no less. Let me tell you, we parked in the ramp across the road. I just couldn't bring myself to use the valet parking in my 2002, dust covered grocery getter. We entered the building by the concierge desk for the hotel. There is a huge chandelier above a spiral staircase and of course, Danielle yells "look at that chandelier!" 10 decibals above normal. Then, it's a sprint to the elevators between Jake and Danielle. After a couple of wrong turns we finally find Dr. M's office. I must say the receptionists were very nice and very cosmetic if you get my drift. Everyone looked like they walked out of a Vogue magazine. I did feel a little frumpy until we met Dr. M. He is so kind and so generous and so GQ. He looked AJ over and his assistant took oodles of pictures of AJ's arm. He was so positive and so gentle. He was surprised that we've only had AJ for a month now. AJ seems to be adjusting quickly and bonding too. Dr. M wants to show the pics to his colleagues and call us back. He thinks that he can get AJ's arm looking pretty good other than some of the scarring from his first surgery. Dr. M wants to wait 6 months... no hurry because he wants AJ to bond and understand English a little better. Dr. M also said that he would work with us and our insurance to get these procedures done at a price we can afford. Isn't that wonderful? He is so kind. It seems that he is using his talents to help others and that he is blessed for it. I've been told that he offers his services routinely and that he's helped many many children. We are so thankful. God really provided a wonderful doctor for AJ. ...We left Jake and Danielle in the waiting room... (Jared was at basketball practice) When we came out, Danielle had helped herself to the bottled water and candy on the counter. She had a soar throat of course. I'm sure those citified folk had a good chuckle after we left. Oh well, what can I say? I like being countryfied with my wrinkles and brown spots and thin hair and thunder thighs and saggy....oops. You know what I mean!! Hee hee
