Another perfect morning. Got started on the solar project after taking care of email and etc. on Internet. Lloyd came to help and we got the back board all layed out and drilled. Had to dump some of the black water, there is a very small black water leak. Haven't decided if it is just from over flow or a small hole. I think there is a small abrasive hole from the black water sewer pipe rubbing on the edge of the basement compartment.
About 3:00pm Cathy went into atrial fibrillation and layed down. I dumped the black water, dumped the garbage and filled the water container and painted the back board. Went over to have a beer with Andy. At 5:00pm Cathy got up and her heart hadn't converted yet, so we headed to the ER at Yuma Regional Medical Center 22 miles away. Set the GPS and took off. Traffic was pretty bad on Fourth Ave. and 24th Street. Got there and there wasn't any parking. I let Cathy out at the ER door and went and parked in a handicap spot as that was the only one in the lot. When I got into the ER she was checking in so I said I would be back after I found a parking spot. Went to Harbor Freight and 99 cent only store. Got cookies and chips for a long wait. Cathy called while I was in the 99 cent only store and said they wanted to keep her over night. Went back and finally found a parking spot when somebody left. Went in and found Cathy in ER room 16. Every one was very friendly and organized. They must have had at least 120 patients. A very friendly young man named Jose came and got me to register Cathy, while she went to get an X-Ray. When we came back she wasn't there, we quickly found out that she was in ER room 7. Went over there and she told me I might as well leave. I did.
On the way back to the motor home I stopped at the Walmart on 32nd Street and Ave 8E. Got some BBQ beef to make a sandwich. Got back to the motor home about 8:30pm. Made myself a sandwich and gave Snoopy his medicine. At 10:50pm, Cathy called. She was still in ER room 7, but they had assigned her to room 224 in the hospital. Shortly before she called her heart converted back to normal.
Nice sunny day, but got windy in the afternoon. Over night low 47 degrees and high for the day was 70 degrees. Wind was 5mph, but later in the day got up to 15 to 25mph.
