05/26/20 - I am finally out of quarantine in the state of Delaware.  On 5/22, my brother Daniel and I went to the DMV to get Delaware plates.  They have a state inspection and I failed since I needed windshield wipers and the 3rd brake light in the back was not working.  So I got a temporary license until I can get things repaired. 

5/24, I was able to enjoy a Sunday lunch with my brother Daniel and his wife Mary Ann.  My niece Deborah also was there. 

5/25, My niece Christina and her husband Jesse had a family gathering for Memorial Day.  Jesse smoked and barbequed pork ribs and a pork butt to make pulled pork.  It was delicious.  Everyone contributed to the rest of the picnic.

Today, I worked on trying to find a family doctor who would take a new patient since my leg is not getting any better and I need to do something since I am so tired of the pain and discomfort.  Well, no one is taking new patients until September!  I finally gave up and went to the ER.  I was examined and they determined that it was not the sciatic nerve because the pain is on the top and side of the thigh but he felt I have torn the big muscle and was kinda determined that I must have had an injury but I don't recall anything like that and I explained that the pain was a gradually pain and not a sudden pain.  Anyway, now I have a referral to an orthopedic physician so I can get an MR I to see how extensive the tear is and where the tear is as well.  Also, they are looking at maybe some physical therapy so who knows.  One day at a time.  I also got a number to call to find a family physician who is taking new patients.  I got some medication to hopefully relieve some of the discomfort and pain while I wait for the next phase of my treatment.  Now, sitting in the lazy boy relaxing and going to play a few games on the computer.
