Success!!!!


Whew!!!!! Success!!! Amy made it onto the airplane and safely arrived in Durham.  All is well.

But first, I have to tell you that I was most pleasantly surprised today ~ my State Executive Director, Lisa Spicknall, invited me to lunch at Lures.  I had the day plotted on the calendar - and had nothing else.

Surprise!!

This is one day after I started the meds.  It looks so MUCH better!!!

I got a pretty bad case of poison ivy and needed to see a doctor.  This was Thursday.
I was able to get a 10:15am doctor's appointment at my favorite Rightime Pediatrics so someone could look at my massive poison ivy on my left hand.  Before I go to the luncheon.  I got a shot that didn't hurt getting it, but wow did it later!!!  I also got two sets of pills and a lotion.  Hopefully it will knock it out.  Lesson learned:  you can still get the nasty stuff even after several freezes.

Amy had the basement guys come and they arrived at 8 am to redo all the insulation.  Then she made a reservation and we had to figure out how to get her to the airport.  I called Lisa and asked it I could bring Amy and she said "Yes". 

So it all worked out.  Had a fabulous lunch with Surprise!  My speakers from my Victim Impact panels - Jan Withers (past MADD National president), her husband, Joe Sikes, Paula Celentano, Donna Beck, Diane Williams and Chuck Hurley ( not a speaker, but a big wig with MADD).  I am still so touched - all of us have touched each others lives, cried, laughed and grew together.  It is very difficult to leave, but I know they will thrive and grow.

Got to the airport - got to drive Amy's new car and it is very nice! 

I also picked up our new art piece from my most favorite frame shop - the U-Frame It shop on Riva Road.  It is perfect for our new house - and, one of a kind.

Love it!!!! Looks alot better now than in the plastic cases in the bathroom!
I am only sorry that I didn't get a picture of Amy in the wheelchair carrying her crutches and carry on bag.  After all my years with wheelchairs, I still managed to whack Amy's foot in the elevator and hit a bump and almost tipped her right out.  OMG!!!!!!

But, success - we made it.

Love,
Leslie
