Road trip!

Lily the dog and I left on Wednesday at 5 PM to go and pick up Deb. We drove to around 11 PM and stopped at a rest area and slept in the car until about 3:30AM when a rude cattle truck driver drove his semi into the car side of the rest area and woke me up. We got back on the road and were able to get through Atlanta pretty easily at 6AM and although the traffic was heavy there were no delays. With all the stops for fuel and rest stops and breaks for Lilyl to stretch her legs....we arrived in Sarasota at 2:30PM - the trip meter said we went 980 miles in 15 hours and 47 minutes.....an average of 62 miles and hour. That average would have been higher if we had not had to sit in a 40 minute traffic stop around Chattanooga when they shut down the interstate - they were blasting rock and had blast and then clean the rock off the roadway before they could let us through.

Deb has been at her sister's house recuperating for a week - she got out of the hospital last Wednesday. She is now walking without a walker or cane - her legs are a bit stiff and she walks pretty well...just a bit slow and carefully. Her left leg is still a bit numb, and she has some numb/stiff areas around her knees and waste. The majority of the stiffness will go away. She got a bladder infection and the antibiotics didn't work, and it morphed into a Urinary Tract Infection. The new round of antibiotics seems to be working and she should be able to make the trip back to Kentucky when we leave on Sunday. We will not make the trip at the same accelerated rate that I drove, and we do have to drive around Jelico Mountain which is a bit longer route - I need to be home by Tuesday afternoon so I can go to a meeting Tuesday night.

So.....Deb is doing much better - and Lily got to go on her longest road trip ever and is enjoying chasing lizards in Florida!

Thank you all for your prayers and support!

Many years ago, in the middle east, we had a similar incident with one of the ladies in our dive club. We had been diving, about six of us, and this lady somehow got them bends. Luckily the USS Saratoga was in port, Beirut, Lebanon and they allowed her to use their decompression chamber which was very generous considering the responsibility involved. Anyway, it took few months but she made a full recovery thank God. Not one of the other divers had any problem including me. Strange stuff nitrogen!

Glad your wife is on the road to recovery Dave!
