Seems that when it rains it pours when it comes to my truck.
We left here on Saturday to go to breakfast then on to Sam's to do some shopping. Got to Shoney's and noticed that steam was rolling out from under the hood of my truck. Tom looked at it and said we would go eat and give the truck time to cool down and he could check it and then add water if necessary.
Lucky for us, our good friend, John, and his wife and daughter were also eating at Shoney's. When we got ready to leave, we noticed a puddle of anti-freeze on the ground under my truck and when started (to move it to the parking lot behind Shoney's) it made the most horrible noise.
John and Laura were just going up the block to their daughters house and John said he would drop Laura and Allie off and then come back and take Tom home to get another truck and a trailer to haul my truck home.
I opted to wait since we had both our dogs with us. So Tom and Tyler went with John and I sat and waited.
Tom got back in about an hour, driving our other truck but no trailer. He'd loaned it out and the person he loaned it to had it loaded but would have it empty later in the day. So I got in the truck with Tom and Tyler and we went on to Sam's.
When I got up that morning (Saturday), my lower back was a bit sore, but nothing major. That changed over the course of the day. By the time we left Sam's I could barely lift my legs to take a step. Tom had to help me into the truck (big work truck, so I couldn't step up into it). By the time we got home I couldn't walk at all. My electric wheelchair was in the house so Tyler brought it to the back door and Tom got me up the steps into the back door and I've been in the w/c ever since.
Tom did get my truck home later that day and he and John worked on it the next day. New water pump and various other things that had to be replaced and my Jimmy is purring like a kitten again.
I had Steroids yesterday and have Chemo coming up next week. Hopefully, between the two of them, I'll get back on my feet and get rid of *this* mode of transportation I'm using and get back to my Jimmy!
Hope everyone is having a great day! :)
