Notes - home /



       Later in the afternoon. This is Amorella. On Saturday, Richard's lower back became more painful and he spent more time resting. Sunday, the pain grew worse. He spent most of the morning resting in bed. Shortly after two Carol came in and said, "Why don't we leave now rather than wait until tomorrow morning?"

       Since you had just taken the heat pad into use you agreed because the car has an excellent heating pad built in. By three o'clock they had packed the car and you had stopped for gas on West Shore and were off. You traveled to Calhoun, Georgia, going through Atlanta after nine -- no  congestion, no slowing down below fifty all the way through). You arrived at Calhoun about eleven and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express just at Kim and Paul had done. You were home by four-thirty in the afternoon. On the way you had made an appointment at the doctor's at eleven on Tuesday (yesterday). After a better night's sleep and more pain pills you rested and had a bath with the bubbler on. 

       Today the pain had not subsided enough to go downstairs until now. You have used the heating pad for the last three hours while sitting in the bedroom chair. Meanwhile, Linda had volunteered to drive up with you and Carol to help with driving as needed. It turns out you drove the whole way because you were comfortable driving. Carol and Linda went shopping yesterday and went again this morning and afternoon. They actually each bought something at the L. L. Bean store in Kenwood. Linda is flying home next week from Columbus courtesy of you and Carol. Linda said she was ready for a road trip anyway. - Amorella

       1720 hours. She was ready and very helpful for Carol in packing and repacking, etc. Besides, both like to shop even though they rarely buy anything. I am feeling better at the present.
