More tests and good music

Wednesday was another full day. Evelyn went to exercise and I picked her up at 8:30 and drove to the Doctor’s Hospital at Renaissance for Evelyn’s CT scan. We had a little trouble finding the hospital but did since we had left Weslaco early. She checked in and got an IV so she could have a contrasting dye injected during her procedure. I waited outside the room, never guessing she was having any pain. The dye injected made her stiffen in pain. We have never heard of anyone having pain during a CT scan, but she did. We left there at 11:30 (her appointment was at 9:30) and drove to the Saturn dealership to have the car washed. We left it there and were shuttled to Tony Romas for lunch. We had not eaten anything because her test was a fasting one. We had a $5 off coupon and shared a chicken breast stuffed with spinach. We then walked through La Plaza Mall, stopped at Penny’s, bought a couple of long sleeve T-shirts for me, and went to a jeweler to see if he could make a necklace of one of the diamonds from a ring of her mother. He was not there so little was accomplished. We called for our shuttle and returned to our clean car. We had to return home because I thought we had to leave for Harlingen at 4. I wanted to make sure Evelyn had some time to rest. We were dressed and ready at 4 but the couple we go to the concerts with didn’t come until 5. They had chosen to go to a restaurant new to all of us because it had received a flawless health report from the board of health. We drove to Harlingen and found it closes at 3 PM on Wednesdays. We ended up going to Long John Silvers for supper. We went to the 4th in the concert series: Fred Radke and the Harry James orchestra. We all agreed this one was the best of the 4 we have had this season. We have two more that promise to be good also. We came home and I watched the Purdue/Iowa basketball game. Purdue won.
