July 24 2016 - Leaving George

Just some quick thoughts.
I still am having lots of back pain, but it is getting better. I'm also having stump pain, and PLP.
I have been doing the TENS on my stump and back before bed. It is so hard to tell if it helps or not.
Tomorrow morning I leave Maddie :-( and head back to Pretoria.
My back is a worry for me. Sitting in the car for 13 hours will not be easy.
A niece of Maddie, has her son visiting her here in George, and he has to be in Pretoria for work on Tuesday morning. He already bought a ticket for last week, but wanted to stay a few more days, so he will go up with me. He has offered to drive the whole way, so I will be able to drug up if needed.
I should be back in my home by 21:00 on Monday night.
Maddie gets to prepare for her 3 weeks in Ireland and get some precious "ME" time, with out having to babysit her crippled, druggy boyfriend :-) She will spend most of August in Ireland with her one daughter. I'm jealous of Ireland.
My next month should be boring. I need to try to get a prosthetic socket working on my sore stump. I also have an Oncologist appointment on the 10th of August.
I may have to throw money at the backyard of my Pretoria house to allow better wheelchair access.
I so miss my stateside friends.
