As part of the lifestyle of fulltimers there has to be a way to manage medical needs. We are lining up volunteer positions all over Texas and Arizona that carry us through the next 14 months so there is a bit of a logistics problem to get the routine doctor visits in so that prescriptions can be filled. We will rarely be anywhere near the same doctor's office at any of the six month intervals required for blood work. So, we are seeing all doctors, and dentists we need to so that we have the maximum amount of time we can get to find the next doctor's offices that will work with us.
That was going great, until yesterday. At Cyndee's OB/GYN visit it was discovered that the surgery to repair prolapsed organs this time last year did not "take". She is now getting appointments arranged for a second surgery. The doctor has been great, he understands what we are doing and has committed to getting Cyndee in as quickly as possible so that she can start healing up and get on our way. But at this moment it looks like we will be staying in Georgia for about another month.
While the downside is obvious, my precious bride once again going through this ordeal, the upside is that our new lifestyle is built around being flexible. We'll either just do everything we were planning to do a little later, skip it or do it some other time. Hey, maybe we can get in a few more "last lunches" with friends and the kids.
By the way, Kids, if you are reading this; this means you are on the hook for Mom's birthday and Father's Day. We'll be available for personal appearances. :-))
All the trip planning and campground reservations have been revised. I was very happy that the private campgrounds that we had reservations for in Mississippi and Shreveport, LA did not charge any penalties or fees. Both just said to let them know when we were coming through and they would leave a light on for us. Nice.
Our host here in GA has been equally accommodating. Even though he has a waiting list of rigs that want in this long-term campground, he did not blink an eye when I said we needed to extend our stay an extra month. A special thanks to Don at Wesley Oaks RV Lots.
