So a week after the return from Yosemite, we drive up to Tahoe to spend some time with Bob and Diane. We had planned this trip months ago, and with my back in rather precarious position, we went anyway.
Driving up September 19, Wednesday, we stayed at the same place in Fresno, Best Western. We stopped at Folsom Lake, and Placerville, got rerouted off of Hwy 50 due to fire off of Pleasant Valley Road, and found a bunch of wineries and we tried a bunch of wines. Finally got to Tahoe by 6 pm. Then on Saturday morning, my back seized again, and I found an acupuncturist on the north shore, who was actually open on Saturday. No one is open on the weekend after labor day. KR proceeds to drink himself to a full drunk and I drove myself. It was so weird, and difficult day.
After the session, Eric and Jen came back from their overnight hike, with Amelia. We had dinner while KR slept away.
Sunday morning we drove out early to Mono Lake, and I floated. Gracie cut her paws up pretty bad so we had to put her in the car. Then we drove home, stopping at Manzanar on the way. We found a hot spring on the side of 395 and it was a great soak. KR didn't want to swim in Mono too much, maybe from yesterday's binge. But the soak off 395 was great, pretty warm, maybe about 95F???
My back is pretty good for a few weeks. Must rest up so that my Iraq trip goes without a hitch.
September 25 I went and saw MD at Beach City and PT with chiropractor, Dr Shafer. HE WAS GREAT.
Doug and Shirley spent a few days at mom's. Glad we were able to offer them a place while Shirley waits for her shoulder to heal and REDO the replacement surgery.
