Update
Thank you for your emails, calls, prayers, etc. I am fine. I have just been too tired to post.
I made it to California and spent Wednesday with precious friends from church hosted by Bev. Kat and Jimmie took care of me Wednesday and Thursday nights. Both Kat and Bev provided the sticky notes I needed to get
me through the days and to each place I was going. I didn't feel embarrassed to ask where the bathroom was over and over or ask what we are talking about. These are good friends who love me the way I am.
I didn't get to see pastor Rob and Cathy and so many others... I didn't even get to see Stephanie and Chani (daughter and granddaughter). Not enough time or energy to do it all.
Doctors' visits went well Thursday... Hard to say goodbye to these caring men who have helped me so much. But I have needed more frequent care and now I will have Florida doctors as soon as the lawyers and insurers do whatever they do to make that happen. I ate and went right to bed at Kat's when I got home. I had had a headache between doctors (a five hour intermission) and I was sooo tired! Good friends don't insist you stay up and visit. Thank you, Lord, for good friends!
The deposition was on Friday. Everyone else was more worried about it than me... until it was going on. I didn't feel threatened. I planned to tell the truth anyway, but my problem is that I kept telling too much of it (according to a lady lawyer sitting on my side of the table) also I lost track of what the question was. The "opposing" lawyer was nice. He was not upset if I broke the rules. I tried to focus, not volunteer information, let him finish his question, etc. but I messed up so much! I hate not doing well or having right answers!!!!
It took a long time for me to find Donna. I stopped beside the 99 Freeway and a man form some kind of freeway patrol (not police) came along after a while and asked if I was okay. I thought that was quite nice, but I didn't want to involve him in trying to find where I was headed. I didn't want him, in trying to help, to ask questions I couldn't think of the answers to.
It's funny I was having trouble going to Oakdale; I went there twice a month for over a year! My brain was tired and I was afraid I was going to get that bone deep exhaustion that often comes. I had a call from a friend in Dothan, AL and even though she had bad news, her sweet voice cheered and uplifted me. I pulled over to the shoulder to talk to her then stayed a while to rest.
Now, Donna and I are at a motel. I slept 11 hours and feel better. We made it 130 miles yesterday, whoopeee! God is good and we are safe. I am laughing at my self... Donna's little black phone and and I answered the TV remote control! OOPS! Laughter is good medicine.
I will probably not have internet service for several days, so trust that God is taking very good care of us.... He always has.
