Friday 1-15-10

Today is a beautiful day, Warm and Sun shine. We sat outside after lunch and enjoyed the sun shine till time to leave for the Therapy. We stopped by Walmart to have a prescription filled and pick up some milk and cheeze.
My personal opinion is that the therapy is not helping reduce the pain. Monday, if the pain remains at this level I will contact the Doctor to discuss other options, or Doctors.
This morning we have rain. The forecast is for rain all day then nice on Sunday. Well rain is better than snow.
Till next time!

Tuesday 1-12-10

Today the weather is warmer, high's in the 50's. Today was also wash day. After lunch we drove to Therapy. Today the put Sylvia on the tension machine, for the first time since Christmas she has been able to walk upright.
We drove to Walmart, picked up medicine, and returned to the RV. Sylvia was feeling better, we attended the dinner at the clubhouse. This is the first campground function Sylvia has attended since Christmas. We had a great time visiting with our neighbors. The chairs in the clubhouse are metal and hurt Sylvia's back. Glenn carried out canvas chairs for her to sit in. Sylvia was able to stay in the clubhouse for about 1 hour before her back began hurting. We returned to the RV where she was able to lye down and relax.
Tomorrow's weather is for 55 degrees and sunshine. We can hardly wait.
Till later.

After the meal we returned home to the RV as Sylvia's back was giving her more pain. She needed another pain pill and rest in the bed.
Glenn fed and walked the dogs. 5:30 Glenn attended the ice cream social at the club house. This is where the manager informs everyone about the weeks schedule. Glenn did bring ice cream for Sylvia. About 80 people attended tonight's social.
We disconnected the water hose again as low teen temperatures are forecast.
This is mealtime when Sylvia is in bed.

This morning the temperatures were in the teens, the park piping was frozen. I poured warm water on the pipe and the water flowed. We have a storage tank in the motor home for fresh water, the park pipes being frozen does not affect us until we need to fill the tank. Today's temperatures did rise to 35 degrees, We refilled out fresh water tank.

From 12-13-09 After rain

Sylvia seems to get a little better but the pain is still strong. She is resting either on the couch or in bed. She cannot sit in a chair. We may have to get a "Saddle Block" if that is required.

Today was laundry day. Filling the water tank and doing the laundry took up most of the day. Yesterday the water was off in the park, they had a main break, so the laundry was busy today.

Tonight the forecast is for temperatures in the teens again. So far we have been warm, we use a lot of propane and electricity but that's better than being cold.
Till later.

Jan 6-10

In the morning Glenn checked the LP gas and discovered that the tank was very low. We packed up and unhooked. Sylvia was still in a lot of pain and could not sit in the chairs. She was able to recline on the couch while we drove the 7 miles to the Propane store in Robertsdale, AL. The trip was without problems and we were hooked up again by about 11:30.
Yesterday afternoon Sylvia went to therapy for her back and hip. After therapy, her pain in the hip was less. She is still in pain, now she can walk upright.
Glenn attended the ham supper at the clubhouse. The meal was excellent. There were about 75 RVers at the meal. He did bring Sylvia a plate, including dessert.
The weather has been cold. Night time temperatures have been in the teen's and low twenty's. Day time temperatures have been in the 40's. The forecast for the next 10 days are for more of the same.
Today's schedule includes another therapy session. The medicine seems to be working and Sylvia can sleep part of the night now.
Till later!

Doctor visit

This morning we drove to see the Doctor here in Foley, AL. Dr Mason is a "Board Certified" Orthopedic Surgeon. Sylvia was examined and had X-rays. The Doctor wants to try to relieve the pain with Drugs and Therapy. Sylvia starts therapy tomorrow at 2 pm. The drugs are a mussel relaxer,Anti-inflammatory,and the pain killer.
Due to the circumstances we now expect to be here in the "Rainbow Plantation" for about 6 weeks. This is a nice campground and great people.

Jan 1-10

Happy New Year to all.
The past week has not been easy for Sylvia. The pain in the lower back and hip has been very high. Thursday was a little lighter pain wise and it was a beautiful sunshine day. We drove to "Cracker Barrel" for lunch. Thursday evening the pain returned. We have an appointment with an "Orthopedic Surgeon" for Monday morning. I will keep you posted on the possibilities. Hope they are able to relieve some of the pain.
