Day 3 began with the genius' waking me up at 6:00 a.m. saying he was in GREAT pain and could not straighten up. When I watched him walk with his upper body almost parallel to the floor, I realized he was indeed in very bad shape. The pain was shooting down his left leg and unbeknownst to him, the leg was also becoming very weak. We immediately contacted the hotel doctor on call who told us to come in to see him at his office.
That ride by taxi to and from the doctor's was a nightmare. He just couldn't get comfortable and walking was almost impossible. He finally made it in and got a couple of prescriptions for pain and relaxing the muscles; after filling them, it was back to the hotel.
From this time on, we were forced to depend on room service for our food, which in less expensive hotels is not so bad. But in this one, it was another story. At least we were in upgraded accomodations -- I can't imagine what a horror story it would have been if we had been in a single room with two queen beds. Here we had a nice round dining table on which to eat our meals.
I will say that the food was truly delicious! AND there were generous servings, so we learned to order one meal and split it -- that way it wasn't quite so hard on our pocketbooks, which were being emptied at an alarming rate. I did make a trip to the ATM in the lobby and it was $5.00 to withdraw $80.00 (the maximum).
This is about all I will report on this lovely excursion except that we spent Day 4 the same way, relaxing in the room and calling for room service. On the fifth day, we hobbled to the limo, rode to the airport, and this time checked our bags.
However, before we leave the subject of the Fontainebleau, below are pics to view of our place where we spent so much time.
