KABOOOM

As they say, "the best laid plans of mice and men oft time go astray". We had planned to leave shortly after Christmas heading back to the Texas Hill Country for the winter.

I had to take Jerry to the emergency room due to excessive high pulse rate. It was 205 which is high enough to cause a stroke. They worked on her for several hours and finally got it back under control. She was admitted so they could run more tests and see what caused the problem.

Three days later she was discharged and the Doctor wanted her to come to his office for a tread mill test. She has to remain in the area so they can monitor her for the next few months.

It looks as though we'll be here for a long time for medical care so I don't guess there will be much need to have a post very often since nothing noteworthy will be forthcoming.

Happy Holidays

JB's Tree

We had a very good time with our family during Thanksgiving and of course we ate too much turkey and Jerry's dressing. Our daughters can't make good dressing so Jerry has to make it. She made three large pans full and when dinner was over there was not enough to bother taking any home.

We had two Christmas Trees, one with our daughters and family in Montgomery and one a little later with our daughter and family in Meridian. That really keeps Santa busy delivering presents to both homes at different times. Thank goodness he doesn't charge extra for the service.

Home For The Holidays

We're back at Capital City RV Park in Montgomery, AL to spend the holiday times with our family and see some of our friends.

Our plans are to be here till mid December and then head back to the Texas Hill Country. We've been offered a workamping position at Caribbean Cowboy RV Resort in Tarpley, Texas. Tarpley is a real big city, the population now is 75. The RV Park we'll be in is a small one but has a lot to offer, they have a physical fitness and water aerobics program using their year round heated indoor pool.

When we told our children about our plans for next year, I don't believe they were too happy about it. They want us to be here all the time so they "can take care of us". Oh well maybe they'll change their minds and be happy we're going back to the Texas Hill Country.

Time To Head Home Again

Now that our workamping time is over, it's time to say goodbye to everyone and head back to Montgomery, AL to spend the holidays with our family. We've had a good time at Buckhorn Lake RV Park and will miss it.

We really like the Texas Hill Country and hope to be back here soon.

Time to sing our favorite song, "On The Road Again".

Data Storm Rally

Buckhorn Entrance At Night

The fourth annual Data Storm Rally began today and the park is "sold out", there will be about 150 rigs here and everyone will have a satellite system on them. The trade mark of MotoSat is the "blue" light and at night they will all be showing and it'll look like a valley of Texas Blue Bonnets.

The rally will have several seminars each day covering every aspect of mobile Internet service using the Data Storm system. For those interested, there are several people who can install either new or upgraded units.

For those of us who have one say "never leave home without it". There is nothing better than being able to get the Internet and maybe also TV anywhere you park your rig as long as you can see the south west sky.

Jerry's Back Home

After several weeks of physical fitness and rehab, Jerry finally got to come home. She still has to take things easy for a while and can't go back to work yet.

She has to go see the Doctor in a week to see just what she can and can't do. She still has the rod in her left arm and we guess she'll have in for quite some time.

She really enjoys going to the hot tub and exercise her arm in the hot water. She goes at least three times a day

There still isn't too much she can do around the motor home so I have to do the things she can't and after working for a full shift it really gets to be a little much for an old man.

Buckhorn is going to host the fourth annual Data Storm rally in October and from what I've heard they will have a full park of "blue lights". I've talked to Kathy the owners wife about it and she has made arrangements for me to be off during the rally. She knows I have a Data Storm Satellite and have never been able to attend a rally before. That was really nice of her to do this.

We've been keeping real busy with all the cleaning we've had to do. During the summer we have a lot of rallies and families with children that are here and that means more work for us. The families with children don't seem to supervise them and they make all sorts of messes. Oh well that's what we're here for.

Today, Jerry fell in the motor home and broke her left humorous bone. As it turned out it was a spiral fracture. The paramedic took her to the local hospital and the Dr. has her set for surgery tomorrow. He's going to install a metal rod in her left arm and she'll be in the hospital for about a week.

Jerry has been released from the hospital and has a weird type of pad under her arm. She will be sent to a "rehab" facility where she'll undergo an extensive physical fitness and rehab program. They expect she'll be there for about six or eight weeks.

Since she can't work, I've had to double up on the jobs and will be working five days per week now. It has really been hard on her cause she can't have her lap top computer and of course can't play Bridge. That hurts worse than the physical fitness she has to undergo twice a day.

This has really been hard on both of us, she is in a rehab facility that is not the nicest place in the world and I have to work from 8:00 am to around noon and then head up to be with her for a few hours. Hopefully with the help of God we'll get through all this and come out stronger.

I guess for the next several weeks all I've have time to do is work and be with Jerry so that means I won't be doing much if any work on the Blog. Please be patient.
