On the drive back to Harpers Ferry we stopped in Daleville to see the foot doctor I saw when passing though there. I got another cortisone shot. The shot did not seem to help this time. I am going to have to just walk it off it looks like.

Today was a driving day we drove from Louisville, KY to Harpers Ferry to and then to Waynesboro so that I could make up one ...
