JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED

As fun as it is to sit and watch my three nerds play with their various gizmos for hours on end, and as much as I've been enjoying the not-so-gourmet meals that the hospital has been cranking out in those trailers on the back lot, while their kitchen and cafeteria undergo a complete overhaul, yesterday at lunch I finally decided that I was ready for a brief change of scenery.  Since the kids and I were craving us some fajitas, we decided to head over to the old, original Chuy's -- just up 1st Street from the hospital, on Barton Springs Rd.

This place is Color-Mad!
Did you know that Chuy's has a secret salsa, one that you have to ask for?  It's that creamy jalapeno sauce hiding beneath Lexie's wrist, and it's uber yummy on both chips and fajitas!
The Elvis shrine in their entryway.
Love, love, love those gazing balls embedded in the wall, and those old drive-in-movie speakers mounted along the railing!
Could there be a better place to put a smile on all our faces?

Well, guess it's time to step away from the computer and head back down to the hospital.  They are doing another kind of echocardiogram on John this morning -- a TEE, or Transesophageal Echo.  Same type of ultrasound picture, but this one is taken from inside the chest, rather than out.  Anyhoo, I sure don't want to miss out on hearing what the doctors have to say about it, so guess I'd better skeedaddle!
