K’s grandpa back in hospital, this time much more serious. Many hours spent in waiting room over many days. He eventually is taken home, and begins physical therapy

The move took 12 car/truckloads
Road construction hampered our efforts
Due to K’s grandpa being in the hospital, we really had no time to pack
K must attend Bar classes
