Nice Weather Continues

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 64 degrees, high 84 degrees, mostly cloudy early, partly cloudy later

I took my walk early this morning because Carolyn had another doctor's appointment to discuss the procedure she will have performed on February 2. No concerns, this is a procedure her doctor is having done so he will have a baseline to compare in the future. We were where we were supposed to be ahead of time, and it's a good thing we were. The doctor performing the procedure moved his office from Glen Rose to Granbury, but they did not notify Carolyn. We found out where we were supposed to be, and made the trip over to Granbury without any holdups. Then we sat in the office for 30 minutes before being called. All of that and she did not even see the doctor. She talked to a nurse who asked some questions and got our insurance information. At least the procedure will be performed in Glen Rose, which we are glad to hear.

When we left the doctor's office, we debated whether we wanted to go to the RV show in Fort Worth, or wait until tomorrow. We decided to go tomorrow. Since we were already in Granbury, we went to the RV supply store and picked up a closet door catch to replace in the RV. There is also an RV dealer attached to the supply store that handles Mobile Suite RVs. We walked over and went through some of them, and were impressed by two of the Mobile Suites. One big problem: the weight of these RVs would require that we upgrade our truck, which is not something we want to do. Our current truck does not have anything wrong with it, and only has 105,000 miles, which is nothing for a diesel that has been taken care of like ours. It will pull the heavier RVs with no problem, but stopping safely may present problems. We will not do anything unless it is safe.

We looked at some other models at the RV dealer's but none of them impressed us like the Mobile Suites. We are going to the RV show tomorrow, so we'll see what's being shown there. In addition, next week we'll see what else Mobile Suite has available. If we don't find something we like, that's okay. It'll happen when and if it's supposed to.

The last few months, I have been neglecting the exercises needed to keep my rotator cuff healthy, only doing them sporadically. I started doing them again yesterday, with a resolution to do them on a routine basis from now on. I do not want to have to go through the surgery.

Our friend Denise called this morning and told us that her mother had passed away last night. Our heartfelt sympathies go to Denise and her family.

More later, be safe.
