To Little Rock in November, 2015

November 7, 2015.. We made the drive again to Little Rock today. The traffic was ok but it was a hard day. We got up at 5am for the trip but we did not get to our apartment in Little Rock until 9:30pm EST. We drove in rain until we got to Harriman then no rain for the remainder of the trip. When we got to Memphis, we stopped and spent some time with my brother who lives there and did not get back on the road until after dark. I had been instructed by my doctors to take a 15 minute walk every 3 hours to prevent blood clots like I had gotten before on a trip from Little Rock. I had not taken into account I could not get out of the car and take a walk after it got dark so I was not able to walk after I left Memphis. It had been about 6 hours since my last walk. The myeloma and the medication I am taking makes getting blood clots a problem so I am hoping, at this time, I don't get more blood clots like I did once before.
We have a free day tomorrow and then a big test day Monday. I start at 7:30am and the last test (a MRI) is scheduled to start at 5:30pm. I don't normally have that many tests scheduled in the same day. 
I am pretty exhausted but I wanted to add to the blog published so the date would be correct on the post. It is now 2:00am EST. Tomorrow should be a much easier day and we are looking forward to it.
