Thank you, Becky. We are thinking about cutting over on Hwy 69 since we haven't traveled south of Granite before. We will be driving our 1500 AWD Ram truck, arriving Oct 23rd. Do you think we should go to Denver and then out? Besides the scary 82, we have also been to Estes Park and Pikes Peak. All trips were Both trips were fine for him, but his health was better then. Thank you for your tips.
Mayo actually just now returned his call from 2 days ago and I talked to her (he is sleeping). She said their schedule was weeks out and thought his condition should be seen locally within the next week or two. So I called another clinic (not the VA where he has a tele-appt set) and he will be seen Oct 5th by a doctor he saw in ER awhile back. I sure feel a lot better knowing he will be at a clinic that actually has a pulmonary department. Perhaps we will not be doing any traveling, but that's fine. This comes first! Thank you!
Sometimes when I post on this Mayo board, it clears my mind and puts the urgency in perspective. THANK YOU, ALL!

@sistertwo- I'm so glad to hear this! It's great to talk things through and get support. We are always here for you and it does tend to put things in perspective, doesn't it?
