July 23, 1931

Christie went to Towsley with daddie [Albert]. My back has been feeling so painful since Tues morning. Monday I did 7 lines of wash – Alb[ert] helped what he could. I feel like it’s broken at the base of my spine, my abdomen was inflamed & swollen from pain. It bothers my bladder terrible. I go in two pieces & fall down; can’t walk or lift anything. I used crutches to hold my top body up, sure would of loved some one to make me some supper & be with me after Christie & Alb[ert] went to Towsley. It’s awful to be here alone, more so at nite and when in pain.
