Forry had an appointment at Heart Clinics NW this morning for an echo cardiogram. It's been eleven years since his Mitral valve repair and Dr. Brennan thought it just might be time for a follow-up exam. Heart Clinics NW is based in the Heart Institute adjacent to Sacred Heart Medical Center. There is a parking garage under the building, so it was an easy visit.
When he was finished, we ran some other errands, dropping off some checks at the bank, the credit union and the brokers. Then it was time to head north to Holy Family Hospital where I had appointments for a bone density scan and a mammogram at Inland Imaging adjacent to that hospital. The bone density test went very quickly (and I've already gotten an email from Dr. Brennan saying it was "normal"), but then there was a long wait in the little cubicle for the mammogram. There were ten little changing cubicles in the room and they were all full. The ones that emptied while I was waiting, immediately filled up again. When it finally was my turn, the tech said that they were doing between 80 and 100 mammograms a day! They were busy!
It was just too hot to be hungry, but we made several stops for something to drink. Even broke down and picked up some Frappacinos at the Starbuck stand at Holy Family. We went to Barton Jeep to check out the wear on the Toad's tires and made an appointment to get new ones and a front end alignment when we go back up next Wednesday.
And from there we headed for home, with a short stop at the fruit stand in Ritzville. It has finally cooled down to seventy degrees outside. I had made vegetable salads for supper -- it was almost too hot and sticky to even eat something cold.
