Sorry, I failed to upload/download the photos before leaving Asilomar and now I am at Mary's - she has limited 'loading' capabilities due to her satellite service restrictions, so I don't want to exceed her allotment. I may already have done so because I downloaded the pictures from my camera. Photos will have to wait until I get home, possibly Sunday evening.
Around 3:30am I woke up in my Asilomar room to go potty and found that I couldn't step down on my left foot. I hung onto furniture and hobbled to the bathroom did my business and looked for some Tylenol, but I had no pain medication left. Also, my cane was in the 'trunk' of the Lexus where I always carry it. So, I just went back to bed - as long as I wasn't walking my ankle didn't hurt. Today was the last day of Empty Spools and I needed to get packed up. I dressed, got my cane from the car and hobbled to breakfast, stopping on the way back to class to buy some Aleve in the little store in the Adm. Bldg. I got lots of help loading my stuff into the car - thanks to all those helpful hands - and drove to Mary's in San Juan Bautista. She got me some ice bags and we propped up my foot with the ice on the ankle. In a couple of hours there was much less pain and I could walk around more like a normal person. But I know that it isn't 'cured' yet and will require more ice and little walking tomorrow. I need to reorganize all the things I will need to get into the car to drive home, then I'll have a good night's sleep and leave on Sunday morning. I'd love to drive down 101, but I suspect with the lovely weather we are having that several million other people will be using that route. I'll post a bit tomorrow night and then hit you will a giant blog on Sunday night.... or, more likely sometime on Monday! I will be working on the SQG newsletter after I get home, it needs to be posted by the end of the week.

Take care of yourself, Del. I hope your pain is gone today, and that you enjoy safe travels. I've loved the pictures from Asilomar. It's the next best thing to being there.
Don't try to drive home if you are still having pain...Sorry that your fun ended with this happening. I have sure enjoyed your posts!
Sorry your ankle is acting up. Take care.
Del, Take care. This doesn't sound good. I know you are tough, but sometimes you have to admit you can't go it alone. Whatever that means...... I'm so sorry you are having such trouble. I wish I could help.
