As the day began to open up and the sun came into the sky shinning brightly, Patrick had gotten a little bit of sleep and then hopped into the shower. He would have to skip breakfast until he was able to get a job. Hopefully that wouldn't take him long to get one, he was quick to get clean and then he decided to go get a check up. He didn't know if they would see him today but maybe he could take an appointment for a later date. He dressed and left his new accommodations and headed for the hospital.
When he got there he went to the desk," Hi. I'm Patrick Lockhart," he told the woman at the desk.
"Yes?" she said in a bored tone.
"I need a check up, is there any way I can make an appoint or something to get a full physical?" he asked her.
"Do you have insurance?" the woman asked.
"Well no," Patrick said, he didn't really want to go into the details of the fact that he was just released from prison," I'm still looking for a job right now."
"Do you have any money at all?" the woman asked annoyed.
"I have some money," he said. He had stashed some money away before he was taken to jail, hopefully it would still be in its hiding place.
"Fine. I'll see if we can get you an appointment," she said clicking on the keyboard as she was typing.
"Thank you," Patrick said.
After a few minutes she looked up at Patrick," Dr. Brady has an opening, she had a cancelation. Today at 2:30, would that work for you?" the woman asked.
"Oh yes! I'll be back at 2:30," he said. Hmm so Kayla Brady was still a doctor here, oh well he didn't know her really well but he had seen her a few times.
He left the hospital after making his appointment and would be back at the appointed time to see the doctor.

Rex had slept on the sofa in Mimi's loft after they had talked, he hadn't really succeed in getting her to see that she should forgive herself, perhaps in time she would be able to. He knew better than to push with her. There was coffee brewing when he woke up and he heard Mimi moving around the kitchen.
"Morning Meems," he said as he entered the kitchen.
She turned to him," Morning Rex," she said.
He could remember a dozen times waking up in this loft and going to the kitchen to find Mimi fixing something or going to start a pot of coffee for them to have in the mornings. It was like time had stood still for them.
"I was hoping to go job hunting today," Rex said as he grabbed a mug from the cabinets and poured himself a fresh cup of coffee.
"That's a good idea, did you need me to go with you?" Mimi asked him.
"Only if you don't have any sort of other plans," he said to her. She still looked as beautiful as he remembered. He also had to meet up with Cassie today, she would be wondering what had happened to him.
"I really should go in to work today," Mimi said.
"What do you do now?" Rex asked curiously.
"Oh I just work in a small boutique in Salem Square, but I can probably call and ask if I can come in later," she said.
"Really?" he asked hopefully.
"Sure," she said," The manager is pretty flexible."
"Great!" he said.
"Okay I'll do that," Mimi said and left to make the phone call to work.

Max and Abby talked and talked for a long time and then he had gone with her to pick up Thomas from Chad's place. They arrived at the Dimera mansion and the front door was opened for them, revealing Chad on the other side.
"Who's he?" Chad demanded upon seeing Max with Abby.
"An old friend," Abby said simply," Is Thomas ready?"
"I don't know if I want my son around a stranger," Chad said defensively.
"He's not a stranger! I've known him for years! He used to live in Salem," Abby said.
"I don't know him and Thomas doesn't know him," Chad pointed out.
"Are you really going to be this difficult?" Abby asked as she crossed her arms and glared at Chad.
"I'm worried about the safety of my son, I don't want him around strangers," Chad said pointedly.
"Chad, just give me MY Son," Abby stressed as she pushed past Chad into the mansion and went up the stairs to get Thomas.
