Day 3…still alive…barely…

July 7, 2008

I do not remember a time when my body hurt as much as it does today. I seem to have left my advil/aleve at home so I have no relief and every store we have walked into has not carried anything that may resemble acetaminophen. I think we’ve completed a full circle of walking around […]
