Okay, it was only three days.
Well, you caught me. It was one afternoon, plus a day that was punctuated by the drive between two different places. The first morning we drove, the third day we spent in the foothills at Pack Forest and drove home in the afternoon. I drove to avoid being carsick. It worked out okay.
But it was three days without internet access, and a lot of walking around on crutches — which didn’t help because the hip slipped out early on the first day anyway. By the time I got home one leg was two inches shorter than the other.
Now, before you grump at me, I DID call and make the appointment for the MRI. They were supposed to have called me within THREE days of the referral (in August). Had I called sooner, I would already know what’s wrong. Supposedly. Oh well, scheduled now. Soon. Before my folks get home, in fact. We’ll see.
On to the main topic, the field trip for the class I am taking on Microbial Ecology.
