TOK, ALASKA
No matter where you’re driving to in Alaska, you will go thru Tok twice. Look at a map. It’s a crossroads. We needed to get fuel there, and look up a medical clinic for Eloise. Seems like she developed a urinary infection. She was hurting when we arrived at the clinic, but they said they simply couldn’t work her in to see the Dr. The office staff called to the next clinic down the road, the parent clinic at Delta Junction, and was able to get her an appointment there for 6PM. We got there with lots of time to spare…about 3 hours. The advantage of having Gertie with us at all times is that you can be comfortable no matter what. We waited and she was seen promptly. Later, the culture revealed E Coli. They gave her Cipro, 3 days worth and when they called yesterday with the results of the culture, Cipro was the drug of choice. It seems to have done the job. The unfortunate part is that we didn’t take the road up to Eagle that we had planned on and since it was raining by the time we got to Tok we didn’t see anything there or on into Delta Jct. That’s okay, maybe on the second visit to Tok we can see it and maybe even work in a trip to Eagle.
