[Note:  Was evaluated for P.T. earlier this afternoon, but that was it.  Except for 15 minutes lying on heat, which was heavenly.  Bought an expensive, but best suited, heating pad on the way home and can't wait to start P.

 [Note:  From last post:  First - the pictures are of my mom, then myself at about the same ages.  I just found those the other day and was struck by how much we looked alike (I thought).  Second - I'm suffering terribly still with severe pain in my left shoulder blade from the pinched nerve.  [...]

The Great Road Trip of 2009 – Tuesday, March 31

April 21st, 2009 · 3 Comments · Dee's Family, Families, Humor, Reflections, Tom & Me, View From the 80's
