Day 24 11/8/08

November 8th, 2008

 [     Not much to say today. After last night’s spinal and getting up at 4, I went back to sleep, woke up at 9 to make some more calls, then basically slept all day. My back is sorer after 1 puncture than it was after 25.

     Woke up at 6 and went to dinner with Dani, Jess, Jim and Carolyn, Pablo, Carolina and Sophia, Debbie and Wendy and three newcomers; Phillip, Debbie’s “replacement” for her mom, and a lady who’s here with a friend paralyzed in a horse riding accident. Another buffet, better than the last one. Positively stuffed, and surprisingly, still tired.  The weather turned cold remarkably fast. Must’ve been in the low 40s tonight.

     Just got home from dinner, and I’m staying up to say good morning to my family. The speakers on the computer went out again, so I’m using Skype for the webcam, and the telephone for audio. It works, but I’m glad it’s only for a week. Can’t believe I’m this tired after sleeping all day. Those spinals are rough. Due to the last one and fatigue, I’m back to walking and talking funny. Sometimes, I feel like I’m on a roller coaster.

      Guess I’ll go shopping tomorrow, if I’m up to it. If not, I’m off Tuesday. Spinals Monday and Friday, and then, departure Sunday at 7:55. Due to the time difference, I’ll be home at 6 that night.
