Bikers in action

While Evelyn exercised, I rode my bike to the oncologist's office to get the order for a mammogram. I stopped on the way back to make an appointment with Dr. Mejia to review Evelyn's Doppler kidney exam. We scheduled it for 2:00. I came home and Evelyn and I rode back to the hospital for the mammogram at 11:00. I must confess that none of the offices is more than a mile from our home. She was taken in relatively quickly, and we were back here by noon. We had left over boiled dinner and were quite full. Evelyn laid down for a while and then we rode to the doctor's again. We waited until 2:30 and then the receptionist announced that the Doppler results had not bee faxed from the clinic across the street. We were somewhat distressed and rode across the street to see what had held the report up since Thursday last. A nice young man blamed the computer and said he would call us when he could send it. He called almost immediately upon our arrival and said he had faxed it. We had already made an appointment for tomorrow so we didn't return. Evelyn was tired again and took a nap. We had a nice salad of spinach from our garden and the left over mustard burger from Burger King that we had left from yesterday. After that we went to the hall to play bingo for the first time ever as a couple. I had gone twice with Andrew and Noah, but Evelyn had never gone. The charge is $.50 per card, and we bought two each. Evelyn bingoed and the payoff was $7.00. I came within one number once but did not get a cigar. We came home and worked on preparing crawfish etouffee for our dinner guests on Wednesday evening. I do the chopping of the vegetables, and Evelyn does the cooking. I had seen Bob Garrity, another friend who lives here permanently, and we made plans to go to the Remington Steak House on Saturday evening. I am still avoiding desserts but don't avoid much of anything else. We are eating our way down in the cupboard even though it doesn't sound much like it.
