Last week of February

Last week of February – On the snow covered road again. Friday we drive to Boardman (quick trip over and back) to meet with some folks from Hood River. They are buying the RZR. Since they are AFP’s (actually DFP’s), we know it is going to a good home. (Arctic / Desert Fox People)

We had another 6” of snow again last night so these trips should be interesting. 11 deg out right now. 

New fifth wheel is packed and ready, so on Saturday we leave for Beaverton. Roads will be icy and snow covered. Next Wednesday, Bob has an appointment with the VA for another shot in the lower back. If the shot were any lower, it could be considered a pain in the ass.

Then on Monday the 7th of Mar, we head to Bothell, WA again for a few more days in this transplant process. Tuesday will find us at a meeting with other transplant recipient, then Wednesday, Bets has a procedure to test for acid reflux. On Thursday am, we meet with that doctor for results and next steps.

We both continue to Watch our Weight, and Bets is still just above her goal to get on the transplant list. Making progress, slow but sure.

Yesterday I was quietly chastised by my brother for not keeping updates on this blog. I promise to do better. I should probably put it on my calendar and make it a Friday update.

Most of you receiving email from us will see a slight change. Beginning to move our stuff over to gmail. We will still receiving EONI mail, but sending will be via gmail. I will probably do a mass eoni email notice of this change.

Early February

Some delay in process. The weight loss window has been modified. From 15 lbs to 25 lbs, now to 40 lbs. Back to the drawing board. Now scheduled to see a Dr? second week in March for some testing, then back to Seattle second week of Apr to the Dr Rahgu again. Then??? Until that time, it is the weight watchers program. Some of this is a bit of a challenge since all the medication prescribed has a side effect of weight gain.

RV changes. Arctic Fox 25R is gone and we now have a 29’ Arctic Fox fifth wheel. Lots of room. Still in the moving in mode, and will be for a few more weeks. Lots of modifications to make to fit our needs. Violet visited the vet and got spayed. Also got a hair cut a few days prior to that surgery.
