BOSTON
05th September 2010
I survived. There were four days of hell involving so much pain that I’m not sure I really saw all of the interesting things Boston had to offer…but I’m alive. And there were days I wasn’t sure I would be able to say that.
Let me begin by saying that Boston was experiencing record heat. It was 95 degrees. Now I’m not minimizing 95 degree heat…it was excruciating…but a record? And there was little to no humidity. It seemed cooler than Arkansas, but I wouldn’t be out in Arkansas unless I was in my pool. However; travelling with Boppy is no vacation. We needed to see and do everything Boston had to offer, and we needed to do it on foot.
Going into this trip my pain level was somewhere around a 6. I am on new meds and I was armed with a new pain medication which is supposed to ease the pain without causing drowsiness. It worked, thank God, and I was taking it by the handfuls. We were not wearing pedometers, but Rob estimates that we walked 10 miles on day one. Because he kept getting lost, and he was leading the way. Believe me I was way in the rear. Then he would decide there was one particular thing he wanted to see, and that it was just a few feet away. When it wasn’t he would tell me, “it’s just over here…just a little further…I’m sure it’s just around the corner, over the hill, past this intersection…”, whatever bullshit line kept me walking. So I walked, and walked, and walked. One freakin’ day he walked me all the way across Boston and into Cambridge to see the USS Constitution. I barely made it there and was actually begging God to let me make it…I was bargaining like an m’er f’er…then we got up to the entrance and it was closed. Seems they aren’t open on Monday. This was our 15th anniversary trip, and I seriously considered killing my husband. He was smart enough to ask the Marine at the entrance if there was a quicker way back. Turns out there’s a ferry that takes you from one port to the other…for about a buck and a half. You know that expression, ” if looks could kill.” Well seriously!
A vacation with Boppy just isn’t complete without a few blisters. I currently have three. You see it’s not a sprint…it’s a marathon. We need to see everything, eat everywhere, and walk everywhere. He doesn’t like driving in cities he’s not familiar with…and I understand that, but shit…have you ever heard of cabs, ferrys, and things of that nature? I was sitting in our hotel with my TENS unit on my hip, an ice pack on my ankle, and three bandages on my toes. He looked at me and made a little kissing noise. Just then the phone rang. He looked at me and said, “You gonna get that?” Everyone always comments on what a patient man he is. I’m assuming that they mean I’m not easy to live with…well let me tell you…he’s not the only patient one in our marriage.
Well…Boston is behind us. We are currently in Manchester, New Hampshire. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of walking during this leg of the tour. Thank God for basic training or I never would have made it this far in the trip. By the way…these blogs will not necessarily be written in chronological order. They will be written in what I feel is the order of importance. I am, after all, in charge of at least this part of my life.
