After scriptures and prayers James kissed me goodbye and off he went to pick up Virgil Cooper at 8:00 a.m. James is taking Virgil to the hospital in the valley for an MRI on his heart. The hospital they are going to is Banner University Medical Center on 11th street and McDowell in Phoenix. I have a bit of a history with this hospital. It was here that I had the surgery on my thyroid when I was 13. I remember the electricity going off and the hospital having to use a backup generator. 

James was in this hospital when he had knee surgery in college. I remember sneaking him in Whataburgers and help him study for biology exams with notecards. 

My grandpa Maxwell was in this hospital before he passed away and I remember visiting him here. Such memories, not all of them fond.

Back to the story at hand. Virgil had heart problems. I guess they have more sophisticated imagery machines at this hospital than they do in Show Low. 

It was almost 8 pm when James got home. He brought me a green chili mixed burro. Thanks honey!

My day was partially spent at the doctor's. I had an appointment at 11 a.m. with Dr. Brady. I was sent to room Cloud 11. Each hallway has a name from nature like River, Trail , Aspen, and I can't remember the others. This is the second time I have been in Cloud 11.

Before the doctor came in I mentioned to his assistant that I had been having chest pains on my left side. All of a sudden I was in the middle of an EKG. The doctor came in and wanted me to go to the ER for more tests but I told him I didn't have time. He ordered a blood test downstairs instead. They were closed for lunch so I did my errands and then came back. My errands included stopping at the UPS store to return the white dress shoes I ordered from Amazon. I made a quick trip to Walmart and then back to get my blood test. The girl who took my blood was so cute in her pink outfit and pink Crocs.

When I got home I took a very long nap. Tom slept on our bed tonight. 

Jackie Hall called me today about the passing of Janis and Reed Willis. I remember when Jackie, Janis, Karen S. and I used to have lunch at Serrano's. Now Serrano's is gone and so is Janis. Janis, Jackie and I always ordered a chili relleno ala carte.

For verily I say unto you, they are given for the benefit of those who love me and keep all my commandments, and him that seeketh so to do; that all may be benefited that seek or that ask of me, that ask and not for a sign that they may consume it upon their lusts.

I was so excited about this until Darrel
told me it was fake news.
