the week after

I went to Duke on Thursday, June 23. Christa was able to take me because she is on summer break. I have now been driven down to Duke by all of my family members. I'm sure they are thrilled.

There is some good news. After considerable trouble on Fred's part (the Advanced Bionics technician assigned to me), my programming is now updated and helping me. I received a new remote control (same model though). The old one wasn't communicating with his laptop for some reason. Which is what precipitated the former programming disaster.

Christa and I had a nice drive. It wasn't too bad at all. And we went to Arby's.
