Hey it’s Just Cataract Surgery !!!

Well Marti thought it’s just cataract surgery Right. Yep that’s what everyone thought. Marti had the surgery back in November of 2011

Ok no problem. The cataract surgery didn’t go good as Marti ended up with Vitreous Debris. We went to see a Specialist much better than the Quack from before. Wait back to the Quack for Lazar treatment OK. We the right eye got some what better. Off to Texas a month late.

Back home in April with more eye problems. Dam back to the Quack more lazar. Two weeks later more lazar this time too much lazar. Well back to the Quack. Now he says you have a detached Retina (Not Good)

Well back to the specialist, now this is Memorial day weekend Saturday. Ok maybe surgery on Sunday but the hospital is a Trauma center Oop’s  too many Traumas. Different hospital on Thursday morning ok wait as we get with in two miles from the hospital phone rings the Dr. is Sick What. Hey everybody gets sick right. well the specialist is Passing a kidney stone. The good Dr. calls from the ER to tell us how sorry he is.  Ok I believe you Dr. Ok back to Saturday surgery this time at a different Hospital. Repaired the Torn Retina. Surgery complete everything goes Great !! Marti has to sleep on her side for five days as they have a gas bubble in the eye to hold the Retina. Things are Look in good WAIT back to the specialist. Marti say’z some thing is wrong.

This time they check the eye and she has a hole in the Macula they schedule surgery for a week Wait too many scheduled. Marti tells the Dr. Wait I need this fixed ASAP as we are ready to travel. The Great Dr. say’z Ok Saturday just two days before his vacation Wow what a guy. Heck everyone in the offices are great too. The surgery went as scheduled but this time Poor Marti has to keep her head Down for five days. That meant holding your head down for 24 hours a day. We rented some special chairs and cushions and some head support to hold your head down. Sleeping with your face down was a real treat. Poor Marti was nearly sleepless for the last three days.     

   We are hoping things get better soon, as Marti told the great Dr. we have a lot of traveling. I was so surprised to hear her tell the Dr. that !!

Getting Our Baby some TLC

 

We needed to get some warranty issues fixed on the Mobile Suite and a couple upgrades. I just had to have automatic satellite setup on the roof. Just pull in park the rig push the button and watch the sat zone in. I just love these modern features. There are times when I forget we are Camping wait I was told it’s Rving.

The factory subbed out the work to a local RV repair place that came highly recommended by DRV. Twin Lakes RV Repair in Lagrange In. They came to the factory to get the trailer. I just loved to kept in the communication circle and Jay was the best at that. I guess I as an owner I want to be kept in the loop.

 

Ok from left to right is TROY and FLY and the Leader himself JAY I will say when I got the rig back it was Spotless looked Washed and Waxed. I will say it was better than when I picked it up from the dealer as they need a lessen in how to clean a rig.Hey maybe Troy could show my dealer how that’s done. 

We had the problems fixed and added some new stuff like slide toppers. The toppers keep stuff (tree leaves and stuff) off the slides witch make me Happy. I don’t have to go up to the roof with a broom and sweep the slides. The real neat thing was Automatic Satellite on the roof. I love this as you push the power button and walk away. Then turn on the TV and Chill I love Big Boy Toys !!!

Yep the first time I tried to use it you guessed it a tree was blocking the line of sight. Well I guess that comes with time ?? and Picking out a site. 

We stayed in Elkhart for a week. well as my Luck goes the Bedroom A/C quit. I called Jay and they were booked up. I thought well dealer at home ?? Nope I called Twin Lakes RV and went back for their Super Service in two weeks. We just Love this retirement as it let’s us do our thing. We came back for our service call and the A/C was bad. The next day we got a new unit installed. ICE Cold just the way I like it. Marti sleeps with blankets and Yogi Love the cold too.

We are thinking about a Washer and Dryer next but we can’t make up our minds about a combo or a doubles. Marti say’z the campground machines are good.

Alaska 20121 on Hold Again This Year

Well some times you have to wonder. We had planned on our Alaska trip of a lifetime. I guess being RVers one must accept change again. We had some problems with the new trailer. Trailer went back to the factory for repairs and some alterations. We are thinking since it in Indiana why not add some stuff on. Like Slide Toppers, Automatic Satellite and Washer & Dryer. I know we’re Camping !!!

Marti had her her Cancer Test that went Great.I had some stuff with the VA Dr.  too.
Well then our friends Phyllis & Jim had a problem and that was the last straw. We are thank full that they are OK after their problems.  
 
This is a picture of their Motor Home after a fire. They live is their home as in Full Time RVers. We were heart sick for them as they lost everything but as they say. We got out Safe and that’s all that counts. Jim was our Alaskan tour guide. They have traveled the United States for six years as full timers. I don’t think there is any place they haven’t been. The great part is Jim remembers every thing about their journey. I always like to call them when we are traveling and Jim tells me of a good joint to eat and that’s anywhere.

Marti had cataract surgery in November last year and then had some problems after surgery. I think they called virtues  derbie so Lazar Surgery to clean it up.  Well turned out to be a Torn Retina  so as of now we are waiting for surgery. Some times life throws you Lemons but with our Faith we’ll get thru this hurtle again !!

Upgrades & Repairs for the New Rig

Well with everything new comes some problems, wait not everything. Well I guess that was true with Old Blue the Pick’em up Truck. Blue hooked up to both trailers and just pulled No Problems.

Well the Mighty Mobile Suite wasn’t as good as Old Blue. We had a few Hick-up’s with the MS. We also are having some additions added to the MS. We’re thinking of the Washer & Dryer along with slide toppers wait also the Direct TV Satellite on the roof.

We also have a short list of Warranty issues, we thought most were well suited for the factory. Well we dropped off the MS in Howe Indiana last week. .
We thought when we roll out to pick-up the MS we would spend some time in the Elkhart area. Marti just might want to do some shopping too.  
We have been home bound for about seven weeks now, I have Hitch Itch BAD Too. (if you have to ask, you wouldn’t understand) We are Thankful that Marti’s Cancer test was Clean & Green as in Cancer Free.
I was good to go with the VA well until I got to the car. My phone rang with my Dr. Malhotra  on the line saying come on back we need to talk. Well I was sure wondering What that was about. The Great Dr. say’z I think you need a Colonoscopy. Well you can figure I wasn’t smiling. She then said More Blood Tests too. I’m waiting now for my appt. for that deal. Wait I almost forgot I need a Stress Test too, from my Heart Dr.Kesio Crap !!!!  Well at least I don’t have to take time off work, Love this Retirement !!!
 





Yogi is sure ready to roll out as MJ keep wanting to dress him up. Looks like that is his Sheep costume. Wait MJ just said it was a Lion costume Poor Yogi goes thru a lot with MJ and Mark but loves their Dogs Storm & Hurricane, well maybe just Storm.
We look forward to our next trip as to where we don’t know yet. The plans are written in Jell-O and we ain’t afraid to stir it. Looking at running up thru Canada to the East coast and coming back. The other plans are seeing friends in Missouri and on to Wichita and Dodge City Kansas. Then on up to Des Moines's Iowa, and points unknown.  
We need to be back home for Marti’s Mother’s Birthday Hey the old bird will be Ninety years Young. You go Nina !!!  Looking to have a surprise birthday, she will probity surprise them.

We are back in our winter home at Aransas Bay RV Resort. We had planned to roll in about Dec 15th. We had some Medical issues so we were tardy. We signed up to be here the 28th of Dec. We didn’t make that date either. Good thing our plans are written in Jell-O.   We rolled out on Jan. 9th well as things played out. We rolled out with our Dream Trailer a new Mobile Suite local bought. I had to stop at ATTA in Fort Worth Texas to get our Aux Fuel Tank re installed in Old Blue.
