Susan and I had planned a two-day trip to (finally) get us to Tombstone. We made our first stop at a place where we’d stayed before, in Wickenburg, Arizona. As it happened, however, while backing into the assigned space, I rolled down the driver’s-side window to check my alignment ( Read more... )

So, tomorrow Susan and I leave the Las Vegas vicinity, [RV news]heading toward Tombstone (we expect it to take at least two days, possibly three). Tombstone apparently is about to get a cold front, but past the first few days once we arrive, the low temps begin to climb, so that for the remainder of January and almost all of February (we may stay that long ( Read more... )

Some months back, Susan and I traded in our Honda CR-V for a Toyota Camry; the reason was that the Honda was an all-wheel drive, which couldn’t be towed except on a full trailer, and the idea was that we could buy a tow dolly for the Toyota, to pull behind our motorhome so Susan could ride with me.

I’d put in a call to the VA back in my ‘home’ state, because one of my medications (metoprolol) had run out; I got a call back explaining that it had been canceled because I was already on one beta blocker (carvedilol) and it wasn’t advised to have two at the same time ( Read more... )

We had a few issues while our son was in Vegas. ( Details under the cut. )

Susan and I only had another week remaining at our current location, the intention being to go on to Tombstone for at least another month. That’s now being revised, however. The odd palpitations I mentioned about three weeks ago returned, and held on even longer this time; still not the same symptoms I experienced in my prior cardiac events, but ( Read more... )

I already mentioned, I know, that Susan and I opted to remain in our current location for a full month (at least). Quite a few other people like the place as well, it’s highly rated and they have a number of permanent residents. At the same time, the city itself seems to be a quite popular destination or pass-through point. I was told that there ( Read more... )

A few months ago, Susan had extensive treatments that took away almost all her back pain, but that was the point at which her body had time to notice severe knee pain on one side. Now, after stretching and range-of-motion exercises in the RV park’s heated indoor pool, she’s found that walking was easier for her. We’ve done a couple of days of that ( Read more... )
