It was a long day yesterday, but we got a number of things done. A typical four-hour drive home took six hours due to the extremely heavy number (and extremely stupid) of people on the road. I've driven in Cincinnati, NYC, Atlanta, Miami, San Fran, San Jose, LA, and a number of huge cities, but... Sign in to see full entry.

We made it to our destination. On the way down here on i-75, we were in the middle of a massive crash bang and boom, but we came out of it untouched by some miracle. There were a lot of cars banged up, but our car never got touched. I'm hoping to be on my way back by no later than 11:00 tomorrow... Sign in to see full entry.
We are packed and about to head out for an overnight stay several hours from home to visit a mutual friend who is in end-stage cancer. I intend to leave her home around 11:30 tomorrow to head home, and with any luck, we will be home at about four in the afternoon. Of course, tomorrow starts the big... Sign in to see full entry.

It's almost 10OM, and so far, we have heard nothing. The wife & I will be on the road by mid-morning to visit someone critically ill and not given long to live. We have known this person for a long time and decided we owe it to her to take the trip. I will try to make my morning posts, but my Friday... Sign in to see full entry.
As of 9:45 this morning, we haven't heard anything from the hospital about the tests Lisa had Monday. I hope to get a call today so we know how to proceed. I don't expect to get bad news, but you never know... so we wait. If anything pops up, I'll let you know! We're going to have highs of 98 to 103... Sign in to see full entry.

We had a quiet night, and I think we slept well all night. The wife is still in the bedroom, but I think it's more due to the high humidity in the air, and there is a small air conditioner in our room to help us sleep at night. I've been getting emails all night from the Weather Channel telling us... Sign in to see full entry.

Update
We are home. The cardiologist wants to up the dose of her new cardiac medication to stop the PVCs and weakness feeling in her chest. (Verapamil and Sotalol) I take those same meds, so I have enough to get her started. They did the EEG without the hyperventilation part because the part of her brain... Sign in to see full entry.
We are about to leave to see Lisa's cardiologist in Valdosta at 9:30, and then she is scheduled for an EEG at 11AM. I have no idea when we will be back, so I am making my posts early. More when we get back! Sign in to see full entry.

It's already 89 degrees at 11:15, well on its way to the promised high of 96 today, so I guess today wouldn't be a good day to bake anything or run the clothes dryer. Our plans include sitting outside, under the trees, talking about 'stuff,' and maybe a quick drive downtown for more Diet Coke. Lisa... Sign in to see full entry.

It looks like it will be a nice day, but we are still recovering from the trip. I got a full nine hours of sleep, but "jet lag" is still a thing today, so we have called it a 'Three-day-weekend.' We had a few monster thunderstorms during the night, but I don't remember a thing from them. We are... Sign in to see full entry.
