“Just a little, Just a small tad manic here our Captain?”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

“Yes BUT it sure beats the living Be-Jesus out of being depressed.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday was Tuesday the 14th Valentine’s Day 2018.<\/p>\n

Bright and early yesterday morning (at 9:10AM) Patti and I set out to drive one full hour across the Phoenix, Arizona, megapolis for my first-of-the-day Mayo Clinic medical procedures.<\/p>\n

We left our motel ( left red balloon<\/em><\/span> ) and went North to Loop Road 101 ( center red balloon<\/em><\/span> ) and East and South down to Shea and then East out Shea to the Mayo Clinic Scottsdale, Arizona, ( right red balloon<\/em><\/span> ).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

God was with us. Traffic was flowing (80 miles-per-hour or faster) at and way beyond the 55 mph speed limit. The normal 1-hour trip took us only 40-minutes.<\/p>\n

There yours truly had \/ experienced a Bone Mineral Analysis (BMA) to determine if my (to date) 1-year regimen of Risedronate coupled with Vitamin D \/ Magnesium \/ Calcium is doing one-whit of good for my male osteoporosis.<\/p>\n

Then back across Phoenix we drove. First from Mayo Scottsdale ( right red balloon<\/em><\/span> ) to the Mayo Clinc Phoenix ( center red<\/em> balloon<\/em><\/span> ) and finally (it was about 6:15PM) back home to our motel ( left red balloon<\/em><\/span> ).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you! While I was at the Mayo Clinic Phoenx ( center red balloon<\/em><\/span> ) I took up a full 30-minutes of residence in a Mayo Clinic MRI machine.<\/p>\n

Why? What for? To see what-is-happening with regard to my left kidney.<\/p>\n

Let me re-assure you all that a full 30-minute MRI experience is very intense.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After the MRI adventure was finished, Patti and I ate (another) wonderful lunch at the Mayo Phoenix dining room.<\/p>\n

The outdoor dining area.<\/p>\n

Our table in the back corner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our table live-and-up-close.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh my goodness. To die for good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Well?<\/p>\n

This is it for yesterday.<\/p>\n

Now?<\/p>\n

Today, after I publish this, Patti will go to her downtown hotel and sign in for her ladies conference. Tomorrow our Patti, our lady, will be sitting on a discussion panel.<\/p>\n
