Trip to Virginia

Last weekend we drove to Martinsville, Virginia, to help some friends of ours, Larry and Laura Winikur, move into their new clinic between Martinsville and Danville. Larry and his PA were trying to operate Piedmont Pain Clinic in Danville and Martinsville and decided to build a new clinic half-way between the two cities. Joanna spent a half-day training the billing staff and Laura spent the same time with the front desk ladies at the Martinsville Office. Maggie and I watched. We drove to the new clinic and Joanna worked with the ladies some more. We went to dinner at a pizza place in the same plaza. Larry and Laura then took us to their Martinsville home where we spent the night. First we watched a movie (Mr. Woodcock) in their home theater that has a seven foot-wide screen and HD projector with THX sound. Then we relaxed in their spa in the back deck. Maggie enjoyed the fenced back yard. Their house is for sale and Larry and Laura are living at their lake house in North Carolina. On Saturday we spent all day at the new clinic. I went shopping with Larry and he bought some office supplies and two card scanners for the front desk. I installed the scanners and configured them to work with AdvancedMD. I also got Laura's CMS15oo's to line up on her printer. We got back to the house about 6:30 and weren't tired (since we slept in that morning) and decided to drive back to Nashville. We got to our apartment at 3:30 am. It was a great adventure. We crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains, drove the crookedest highway and enjoyed the fall scenery.
