8th Journey

Journeys # 8 for my grand kids. by Dale Whitson Feb15 ’12. Yesterday, on Feb 14 – Valentines day, I sent some of you an email about hundreds & hundreds of Robbin Red Breasts on our park. That was the 1st and last day we saw them. We walked around the park at 11 and they would just get out of our way and them come right back as we passed by. By 2 PM they were all gone and we haven’t seen one since. Today there are none. All of you Okie’s start looking for them – they must be on the way. Our park has thousands of earth worm mounds. That is what they were getting.
Madell had an appointment for her 6 months heart check up at 3 and when we went around the park to go to the Dr. – not a robbin – not even a straggler was around.

Madell had her lab work done last week and when we checked in at the Okie heart Drs place (he grew up in Lawton and went to O U) – they did an ekg on her. When he came in and checked all the reports and did a complete check on her heart – fore and aft – he gave her several excellent grades on all accounts. He didn’t like the way Okla State treated O U in last falls football game!! He told me to take her out for a Valentine’s dinner and come back in 6 months.

The Dr had put in 2 medicated stints in her main artery that was 99 1/2 % stopped up – on June 3rd. This followed a 5 min careflight by helicopter from one Hospital here in Ft Worth where we had gone to the emergency room – to the main heart unit downtown. By the time I drove from one Hosp to the other – they had the procedure well under way.

We met friends for dinner and played cards afterwards. I was the big winner. Yesterday was a very fine day. Dale Whitson Feb 15 2012.
