No run today.  I got up at 4:30 like normal but I ended up taking Sue to the hospital instead of running.  She has been really sick since late Saturday and was just not getting better.  She was really dizzy and nauseous and if she moved at all she would get sick.  She had not eaten anything since Saturday dinner.  

It looks like it is an inner ear problem that is giving her severe vertigo.  They gave her 2 bags of IV fluid because she was so dehydrated and some medication to "dampen" the vertigo.  They can't really treat it....it just goes away I guess.  Then I had to rush up to Rexburg for my first of 4 straight days of full day corporate inspections (more like labotomies).  I am exhausted.

I am sorry to hear about your wife. Is she doing better today? I saw you running this morning, you were running up Franklin Street by E. Popular around 5:55 am.

God Bless your wife Bill. I hope she is okay now. She will be in my prayers. Good luck with the corporate inspections. With your work ethic I know they will be stellar reviews.
