July 23, 2008: Update

Yo DaVita!

Well I am nearing the end of Day 4.  I had the dinner with the doc group in the Northeast, it took three hours.  Good conversation, I hope I added value.  Back to the airport I trotted.  But bad weather meant the plane could not take off, so I did 75 minutes of phone calls and emails.  Now I am on short flight to DC, will land about 11:30 pm and get to the hotel a bit after midnight.  Not a long enough flight for me to catch up on all my emails, but I will make progress.

Crab cakes and chicken for dinner, no potatoes or dessert.  This will be the 4th day with no sugar bombs!

I was weakening — but then I read some of the postings from some of the other 212 teammates who are joining hands to bring more health into their own and each other’s lives — and I will not weaken tonight.  Reading the postings strengthened my resolve.

The bad thing about being late is it may be difficult to get up and exercise before my first meeting, which was the original schedule.

I saw some great stats today on implementing the improved heparin protocol,  some impressive anemia management numbers and a report of 2 more Nephrologists in the northeast that have signed up with our own DaVita.

Rock on.
