How do we spell relief?
Arriving at our son's home in Genesee, Colorado
Which we did yesterday, Friday, about 3:30pm!
We are so thankful to have made it
All the way to Jonathan's
Through all the challenges we have encountered
Mostly due to my bodily weakness.
And yet our car wasn't sure if it was going to make it the last bit either...
The last half of yesterday locking up the brakes
So that at times on I-70
We were unable to travel at more than 15mph!
So an early morning auto mechanic appointment on Monday
Will determine both
The fixing of the windshield wiper motor
And the extent of what it will cost to fix the brakes
Not to mention anything else that they discover!
In other words...whether or not we still have a car
Or will donate it down here
Because it would cost more to fix than it is worth!
As for Cindy and I...
We will either way
Not be driving back to Washington
(There is no way my body can handle anymore)
But staying a few more days with our son and family
And then flying back...
A quicker and much less painful end to our adventure!
Thankfully also
My doctor was able to prescribe some pain medication
To take the edge off my suffering
Which we picked up today at a local pharmacy.
He has been a rockstar!
The oxygen has also been a huge blessing
Making it much easier to breathe
At the 6,500 foot elevation where they live.
Thanks again so much for caring and supporting us
In this little adventure we have undertaken!
I will follow up in a few days
When we figure out exactly what we are going to do
And how it looks like we will be proceeding
Once we return to Washington
Regarding treatment or no treatment.
My body is definitely winding down
With treatments seeming to hurt me more than help.
Till then...
Dave
Grateful you both and the car made it. Oh sure, there was some dicey adventures, but then in my short career with you, that seems to be typical. Enjoy your 6500' living for these next days and scoop up all the delight of that son & family.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend in Denver who is willing to help if there is anything you need, Dave and Cindy. Give me a call if she can help with driving or getting you something from the store or?
