We spent the day getting ready to fly to Phoenix, AZ to visit Duffey’s 97 1/2 year old mother. She lives in a duplex in Sun City and attends line dance class twice a week where she is the membership chairman and has been for 20 years.
This was my first time flying with my new Pacemaker/Defibrillator and I was not sure how it would work. I showed my card and instead of going through the x-rays I was taken to a room and given a thorough pat down. It was not a big deal and I moved on to the plane.
We arrived at the Mesa airport from the Rockford airport around 8:30 PM and went to get our rental car. They stated they were out of cars and only had a truck left. I tried to explain that a truck would not work for us because we would be driving Duf’s mother, Jewel, around, but they insisted it was all they had left, even though we had reserved a mid size car. So we did not want to waste anymore time so we took the truck and spent the week helping Jewel in and out of the truck that did not even have a running board.
The irony is that there was a line behind us and while we were loading our stuff in the truck the couple behind us said how lucky we were to get a truck because that is what they wanted and they got a car. Of course they would not let us trade.
We finally arrived at Jewel’s house around 10:30 and went to bed.
