Today was a negative day. I had to be driven to the emergency room in Flagstaff Arizona today because of the nerve issue in my right thigh. It isn't getting any better and it finally put me on the ground today. It is the weirdest thing ever. I have max strength, max cardio, max motivation, but around mile twenty I went down when the pain took away my ability to walk, my leg gave way and down i went. I am fine and spirits high. I am very sick from walking for days in extreme heat and resting in an air conditioned room for a couple days in Laughlin. The ER treated me for a viral infection and for the nerve issue of the upper thigh. Well they didn't actually treat me for anything but they told me to cease operations for a few days. They told me a few days rest would do it, but you and I know both know that's not true. They didn't even give me anything for the sickness, but I don't care, I will overcome all this crap. I looked for Dr. Kevorkian in the yellow pages but had no luck. I would settle for a quick amputation and a prosthetic if possible. I have spoken to several people who had this ailment and they all had the same advice.......acupuncture. I will do it on Monday morning and be walking by noon. If it doesn't work, I will still be walking by noon. I said before and will say again....I will not be denied. I am held up in a hotel and trying to rest up. I met a man who didn't give his name today and he drove up, parked in a field and through a gate and walked up and said he heard about me and wanted to wish me well and tell me he knew how I felt as his eyes filled with tears and he broke down. He handed me a guardian angel medallion, shook my hand and walked away. It will go with me. Thank you for being a part of day thirty three.
*Mackenzie would use my dog tags every time she would fly on an aircraft. She was afraid to fly at first but I told her that when I jumped out of airplanes, I would rub my dog tags together for luck and it always worked. I gave them to her and she was never afraid to fly again.
