TICKER CHECK


We’re home from Spokane where Mike saw a cardiologist at Deaconess. After reviewing the EKG and the reports from his bunion surgery, the physician told him that no further testing was indicated. He said that Mike has a slow heartbeat and that under anesthesia it will slow even more. He believes it is possible this slowing is all that happened during the surgery rather than the suspected “third-degree heart block.” Anyway, the appointment was all over in about 45 minutes. We made a few stops in Spokane. Mike bought a rifle rest at the outdoor store. We had our customary Subway lunch, then headed for home, finding a few geocaches along the way. Here are some photos of the Lewis-Clark Valley taken from the top of the hill – for your viewing pleasure or possibly to make you homesick, depending on who you are. As you can see, the weather today was unsettled with intermittent showers.

Happy birthday to Billie. I’ve been thinking about you all week but still didn’t get your card mailed. I hope I do it tomorrow. So – you still have that to look forward to!

So basicly dad, your cardiovascular system is in such good shape that they suspected the opposite. How ironic. Doctors in this country don't even know what a man of your generation looks like when in such good shape. No no he couldn't possibly be in such good shape, there must be something wrong with him.
