Medical Update on the Godfather: Part II

This is a continuation from the original "Medical Update on the Godfather":
  1. Today Paul dropped off Uncle Andy and Aunt Diane at the 14th Avenue entrance of St Mary's Hospital of the Mayo Clinic about 8:37am.
  2. Michele met them inside the hospital and took them to the desk where Uncle Andy was to have the tests taken.
  3. Uncle Andy bravely endured 9 (nine) biopsies.
  4. Meanwhile, Paul worked from home while the new kitchen window was installed.
  5. The Schwan's man came to the house (while the window guys were here) and Paul bought some turkey, fish, chicken strips, and asparagus ($67.45).
  6. After spending time in the recovery room, Uncle Andy and Aunt Diane crossed 2nd Street to eat lunch at the world famous Canadian Honker. They bought Honker T-shirts while there.
  7. Paul's cousin Pete showed him where the pancreas is in a CT-scan. Pete is not a doctor...he's a self-diagnosed hypochondriac.
  8. Paul picked up Uncle Andy and Diane and brought them back to our house at 12:45pm.
  9. Aunt Diane and Paul's mother found a problem with the newly installed window...one of the boards is not completely straight. Paul wonders if the appliance gods are involved in this.
  10. We had tasty Schwan's Breaded Blue Hake "Wild-Caught" fish for dinner. Paul's mother entertained Uncle Andy and Aunt Diane with stories of dating exploits from her youth.
  11. Paul and his father go to Wal-Mart to purchase some things. While unpacking the items on their return, Michele mistakes a shirt Paul bought for being a tablecloth.


Sometimes it is a very good thing...
...to work for a premier medical facility...
...which is just across the street...
...from the Canadian Honker...
