Aug 21st Can do! What I have to DO!

Once you have been shot, you can count on having more surgeries, that is “If” you did survive? Since, Lee was shot so close to the “heart” and the bullet shattered, with a small piece lodged near the “heart” his blood circulation to the legs, was at a stand still.

So, this year’s vacation was going to be a long time in “St.Louis”. The Doctor that saved Lee’s life before would be doing more surgery. We had to rent an apartment, we would be here for months. When Lee was allowed to leave the hospital, the Doctor told him that he could not drive back to Florida. We put Lee on the plane and his brother, Al would meet him at the Miami Airport.

This was really going to be a trip for me. I picked up a couple packages of carrots, cleaned and in a container to chew on… when I needed to keep the eyes “Open”! The map that I had well marked the route to follow, so Tom could keep me on track… with shortest and best route!

I was now on roads that I have never seen before, as I almost knew the way without a map, so I did ask Tom where he found these roads? He said: “It would be fun to see… “New Orleans”!

I was way out of my short cut “Way ” and out of my “Mind”! I wanted to be in the top of “Florida” before stopping for the night, for tomorrow night, I would be crawling into my own bed, only if I could have the correct help, that I needed and expected!

Tomorrow… I will have the longest “Day of my Life” ahead! “Only hope I can do it?” D.V.
