Carlene and I stretched our 600-plus-miles into four leisurely days, then arrived here late Friday afternoon just as Day and the boys were getting home from school.
That night, we went out to dinner to celebrate Marcus' 13th birthday with steak and ice cream for the birthday boy. At 3 in the morning, my traveling companion woke up feeling dizzy and weak and we took her to the ER--where they ran blood tests, checked her pacemaker, her head, and her heart. She was her usual cheerful self, assuring us and the doctors and everyone else who came into the room that she was just dehydrated from a new pill she'd recently started taking.
She was right. All her tests were reassuring, but they wanted to keep her overnight for observation.
We spent last night at Day's and Tom's house tonight and Carlene is feeling better, so we plan to head to Georgia early this morning.
