Abel and AJ whiz into HealthSouth Rehab Center of Southern Arizona on this lovely Friday the 13^th. Riding along today was Kristen and Tiffany. Poor Tiffany! She was left by the wayside when she had a flat tire and had to walk the 37 miles back to HealthSouth.

We’ve finally found someone shorter than Joe! Tiffany and AJ take a moment to pose for pictures and let AJ’s face return to its normal, not-so-red color before heading in to see patients.

Abel got quite a surprise today when he saw his old pal Tiffany that helped him through his physical therapy in Albuquerque. When she threatened to make him relive some of the “good old days” of physical torture just for old times sake, Abel disappeared. He wasn’t seen again until we left the building. We think we know where he was hiding as he had a trail of toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

Martha (CEO) and Michael (DMO) welcome the riders and decide to sing a duet version of “I Got You, Babe.” We guessed that Michael was playing the part of Sonny since he had the moustache.

After Martha and Michael worked the crowd into a frenzy, they were sorely let down when Abel took the microphone and began talking about quantum physics and its relationship to the number of asteroids that are seen each year by astronomers in the outer regions of Albania.

AJ, exhausted from a night of wild partying and carousing around town, falls asleep during the middle of her speech. A few minutes later, she awoke when she smacked her head on the microphone. Thankfully, no one seemed to notice and AJ returned to her seat with only a bright red circle on her forehead as a memento.

Luke, still minus one leg due to socket malfunctions, finally spills the beans about what happened in Vegas to the astounded crowd. Shortly thereafter, the Tucson PD arrived and Luke was carted off to a special padded cell in parts unknown.

Aaron, Rick, and Pat hang out with AJ only on the condition that she doesn’t begin to sing. She looks as though she’s ready to belt out a little ditty, so they scatter like roaches when the light turns on. Incidentally, Aaron and Rick have to share a pair of crutches all because, when Joe came around last year, he lifted their wallets and jewelry to use for gas money.

Tiffany and David communicate through a series of foot taps. Here we see David telling her to get lost.

Mike hides when Luke begins to recruit him for the HealthSouth talent show. What he didn’t know was that Mike’s talent is to try to make himself disappear. We all think he can use some more practice.

Tiffany, tired of picking up after the patients, is about to dump this sweet, lovely lady out of her wheelchair so she can assist in the cleanup. Ivan seems to watch with delight. Perhaps he’s thinking about making this part of their daily physical torture. Christina pushes herself out of the way as to not be associated with this scheme.
