Boy, I didn't realize it has been so long since I last posted. The good news is that I did not have surgery. After getting a second opinion and realizing that the first doctor's primary interest was surgery and it wasn't my primary interest, I chose to not continue having him as my doctor. This guy's beside manner was almost a match to House's (a doctor on TV). The second doctor felt my issues didn't warrant surgery at this time and suggested we try the non-surgical route first. Bless her! So far so good with the non-surgical route. We've been given the green light to get back to our travels with the appropriate list of things to be watchful over.
Since being in Sacramento, we've improved our eating habits with whole foods and less eating out. We've been exercising with 3 to 5 miles walks daily. We've even started with some easy jogging. Imagine that! Experts say that it takes three weeks to develop new habits. We've been at this longer than three weeks now and are doing just fine. We believe we can just keep at it as none of it has been a chore. Keeping at our new lifestyle won't be without its challenges though as RVers love food. They love potlucks, finding terrific restaurants and love sharing the information. How can one pass up a highly recommended restaurant when you may never pass this way again? I guess we will be finding out. We are looking at food a whole lot differently these days so I guess the recommendations will have to be something really special before we are bite (no pun intended).
We've enjoyed spending time with Melissa, other family members, and friends but we are so ready to get back out on the road. I know most people can't understand the draw of the road but we are so ready to get moving. Weather permitting we will begin our southern migration on Tuesday. We have friends to visit with at various locations in Arizona. Let the travel begin . . .
