Departing ABQ

Northbound to the National Forest west of Abiquiu.

The bill from St Mary's E.R. (heart attack March 8) arrived yesterday.

$10,000.00+ for an EKG, a consultation with the docs, some morphine & nitro and an offer for a femoral angiogram (guess they hadn't heard of transradial).

Medicare left me with $1,400.00; not much of an incentive to seek further treatment.

Looking forward to being away from the noise of the urban wasteland.

First-hand report: 30 cases of Covid on ventilators at Univ of NM Hospital, mostly from Farmington and the Navajo reservation.
