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.
