Hot? Hot? Tomorrow will be the first day, since I left Williams, that it won't be over 110.
Six days of over 114.
Now, I'm leaving for Phoenix (from Yuma) and renting an Air BnB for three weeks (at least I got summer rates) as my childhood friend will be undergoing two valve replacements on Wednesday.
Congenital condition. My house has stairs . . . and that ain't gonna work for her.
The whole Covid bullshit we were fed, for two years, postponed doctors appointments and the surgery that would have allowed a minimally invasive procedure to correct her aortic valve.
But . . . because of the lies, fear mongering, deception and delays from Covid . . . her condition put stress on the mitral valve and now it looks like she'll be the proud owner of a pacemaker, to boot.
So . . . now it's chest cracking time with the heart-lung machine inserted through the femoral artery. It's an all day affair Wednesday.
I'm starting to think summers and friends with life threatening ailments are my destiny (or calling).
