You Know You're In Las Vegas When.......

There are slot machines in the grocery store!.....seriously!

..........and you know you're not in Florida when it's 93 degrees outside and it feels lovely!

Today was supposed to be the Hoover Dam tour....well, what is the expression?  "The best laid plans....."  Dean's ankle had been bothering him, making it somewhat painful to walk.  I woke up the other morning with some weird right chest pain.  By today Dean's pain was worse, as was my chest pain. Dean dropped me off at the local ER (with chest pain my PCP would only authorize ER) and went across the street to the Walk-In clinic.  The folks at the ER were fantastic....got in right away, hooked up to the EKG, Pulse Oximeter, etc....and pronounced my pain as musculoskeletal and sent me home with a Rx for ibruprofen.  Dean didn't fair so well at the Walk-In.....$130+ later he had nothing but a referral to a podiatrist.  Apparently the urgent care doctor is not in on Thursdays.  He saw the PA who couldn't get an x-ray, prescribe meds or give a shot.....and seemed to not give a sh#@* either.  Better luck at the podiatrist....she was awesome....explained everything, made some recommendation.....and wrote them down!  So, back to the RV for lunch and both pretty much exhausted!....I got to nap but Dean had to work! 
Sorry to miss the Hoover Dam but the important thing is that we're both fine....

Namaste,
Tobi
