Breast cancer issues

Evelyn had an appointment for a mammogram at Knapp hospital but learned that Medicare would not pay for it until after April 22. We leave here on the 13th. This means she will have to get it in NC. Unfortunately, our oncologist is here in Weslaco. The problem is that the date in April has been pushed back for several years and we don’t stay in the heated Valley much past the middle of April. This year has been especially hot. I saw the doctor later in the afternoon, and he said she should have it done somewhere but not skip this year. We are to take a CD of last year’s mammogram with us. I then took her to Pimiento’s to meet with some ladies for lunch. I came home and worked on assembling things to pack. When she returned, we gave Bonny some of the things from our cupboard and freezer then she napped a bit. We will go to Joe and Bonny’s Sunday evening for some of the shrimp and boudin we gave them today. We went to the local Relay for Life at the high school immediately behind our park and walked the first mile, the survivor’s lap. The Relay team then served enchiladas for our supper. It was very windy, and some things were blowing around. We think 57 mph gusts had been predicted. We believe they were correct. A baby stroller blew off the bleacher at the high school track, and one woman we recognized from Immanuel took her tent home because she could not set it up in the wind. Many people were successful and the event was a success. We went to John and Sue’s to give them a small flag Evelyn had fixed for them, hoping they would invite us to play games with them and their “son”, Dick Hiebert, but they were having a late supper and we weren’t hungry. We came home and watched some replay of the Master’s tournament and went to bed.
