Yeah I’ve lost track of what day it is. Today was the first day I’ve been able to really be up and out of the RV since the prolotherapy last Thursday. The afternoon storms are pretty cool - but one of the dogs doesn’t agree, so we went to get him a thunder shirt and…
Well that’s a whole different experience! 70 shots in the neck. I don’t do neck shots well - my muscles rebel. So they gave me 2 Xanax, 2 Vicodin and nitrous. Not pleasant by any means, but I got through it! Now it’s a waiting game to see how much it affects me. Next procedure…
On Day 1, the doctor found 2 issues that he thought needed additional testing. TMJ - this has been a problem for many years. My jaw gets out of joint and locked up. I wore a mouth guard designed to correct this for a year. It’s better, but still an issue. Dr Hauser sent me…
I’ve been sick for 16 years - disabled for 9. It took 8 years and tons of testing to finally get a proper diagnosis and treatment. Since then, we’ve found that the delay in diagnosis left me with a significant amount of residual damage. The biggest problem area is my neck. I have cervical instability,…
Had a lazy morning - not feeling great today, but we did make it down to Fort Myers Beach for lunch and to drop our feet in the water. This is the warmest ocean water I’ve ever felt. I plan to be back down here to get totally wet at some point! PelicansHow’s this for…
This is the last day of travel for a month or so. My first doctor appointment is Tuesday and I think my first treatment is Wednesday. So we have a day to dial in life at our temporary home in Fort Myers. We hope to do a little sightseeing in Florida, but the primary purpose…
We got an early start this morning to try to reduce the hours in the heat without a/c. Came across 2 dead alligators on I-10 near Irish Bayou. Other dead things: wild boar, turtle. Toto, we are not in California anymore! Driving across the bridge between lakes Ponchetrain and Borgne, it feels like we are…
If you missed yesterday’s post, we went out on the town in the French Quarter last night. What a blast! This morning we’ve been taking it a little slow, cleaning a bit, laundry, fixing a few small issues and resting. The Garden District Well, I did it again - took a bunch of photos on…
We have run our generator pretty much non-stop to power the A/C. This tin can cooks us if we don’t. It’s a trick we learned when we first got the RV - skeptical at first, but boy does it make a difference when it’s 100° outside! We thought it was cool enough last night to…
A few years back, Dave and I spent a week on Kauai. It was huuuuumid! My pain dissipated. We came home and boom - pain high. Every time I’ve been somewhere with humidity, my pain drops - not gone, but bearable. The last several days have been high humidity - and it’s been great. Today…
