10/24/18 - On 10/20, Around 12:40 pm, I left for Lancaster, PA since I was going to visit some dear friends of mine from San Diego.  Since Laura's mother lives there, Anne and Laura went to visit her for a long week end.  It took me 2 and 1/2 hours since I got into a traffic jam in a little town called Intercourse, PA.  I had a wonderful visit with all of them.  We had a delicious dinner and lots of conversation.  I then left around 10:00 pm for Delaware.  It started to rain a little but was never heavy and I drove out of it in about a 1/2 hour.  I could not figure out why the stupid GPS gave me a different route home but I soon learned that I needed to follow Gertrude's (GPS) instructions or I will be really lost on those country roads.  I also did not realize that every time I did a re-set, then she found a new direction and before long I ended up in Maryland instead of Delaware.  I finally found my way home and it got home at 12:35am.  So needless to say, I did not drive much out of the way!!

10/22, I went shopping with Christina, Deborah, Charis and Mary Ann.  I got a scan of yarn to finish a baby afghan.  In the evening, we went over to Christina and Jesse's new house for a wonderful taco soup.  Since early afternoon, I have been suffering with low back pain on the left side.  I was thinking it is sciatica but not sure.  It  has been very hard to walk but I have no pain when sitting or laying down. 

10/23, Back pain in still there not sure what combinations to take to make it better but finally took an ibuprofen 800 mg and felt it might have helped a little.  I also had a dentist appointment in the afternoon.  Well, he repaired a small hole on the top denture and then put another rubber snap in the bottom denture so hopefully am good for a little while. 

10/24, Back pain is a little more under control but have a ben gay patch on given by Mary Ann.  I also took some Aleve and Tylenol and am hoping for the best.  Today, a guy came and cleaned the carpet so I am out of the RV for most of the day.  Of course, it is really cold and I am trying to dry the carpet so I have some heat on and windows cracked and a fan going.  He told me about 6 hours!!!  So I am at the house and decided to blog and then work on a puzzle that we have started.
