    I woke up with bad vertigo. I nearly fell over on my way to the bathroom. It was a day for staying in bed. I texted Scott and Yvette to tell them I was out of commission and needed help with Elsa. Scott was the first one up. He walked and fed her. He also brought the walker to me. That was a great idea. I wouldn’t have to worry about falling.

   I did some tennis ball massage. My shoulders hurt. I started there and moved the ball down to the inside of my left shoulder blade. As I pushed the ball into that muscle, it felt like cold water was running through it. Then, it felt better. I moved the ball up from there. I ended with the ball pressed into my head just in back of my left ear. Again, I felt cold water running through that part of my head. The vertigo passed. I canceled all tutoring sessions for the day and slept.

   The news announced a fixed-wing plane used to fly medical emergencies to Oahu was lost. The crew was flying to Maui to pick up a patient. That’s what Mike and I flew on when we flew to Oahu to get Mike to the hospital after his pancreatitis attack. He died life five weeks later. It might be the same crew that flew us.

   Lemus returned to get more information on the irrigation system. He was supposed to come at three. I contacted Josh and B., who had information on the layout and asked them to be available when he arrived. Lemus arrived late; both Josh and B had left. They had other engagements. Scott talked to him. He arranged with Lemus to get the layout information from Josh and go over it with him the next time he came.
