CAT Scan Completed

December 23, 2021 My doctor’s office finally got my referrals for my CT aka CAT scan completed on Wednesday. I was able to get an appointment for today for my scan. The scan was quick, about 10 minutes, and I was done. The paperwork took longer than the scan. I was told I should get […]

A Concussion, Really?

December 18, 2021 A while back, I walked into my RV and not through the door. See https://retirementrvdream.com/2021/11/13/just-ouch-how-can-i-walk-into-rv/ I have been having headaches since I hit my head. With it being over a month, I was still having headaches, I decided I should go see my doctor. She informed me that I had a concussion […]

Update on Low FODMAP Diet

November 19, 2021 I wanted to provide an update on Bruce’s experience with the low FODMAP diet. This is not a diet to lose weight, but to tame lower GI distress. Bruce has been on the low FODMAP diet since September of 2020. First, we limited the foods that Bruce ate to only low FODMAP […]

National Stand Up to Cancer Day

September 10, 2021 Today is National Stand Up to Cancer Day, sponsored by the organization, Stand Up to Cancer. Bruce was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at the age of 41. It took his doctors over six months to diagnose him, as they just didn’t believe someone that young would have colon cancer. Since […]

Retirement RV Dream Delayed

May 25, 2021 I had hoped to turn in my two weeks notice yesterday for my retirement. Since our house hasn’t sold, my retirement is delayed. I will work until the house sells. I am glad I told my boss that I will work until June 4th or until the house sells, which ever is […]

99 Days Left before Retirement

February 19, 2021 I meant to post yesterday when my counter was showing 100 days left until my retirement date. I got distracted by Nox’s pitiful behavior yesterday after having her teeth cleaned and didn’t get a screen shot showing the 100 day count down.

Second Shingles Vaccination, Ouch

February 1, 2021 Yesterday, Bruce and I went and got our second shingles vaccination shot. It stung a little when I got the shot and now the area hurts like a painful bruise. I compare this ache to the intense, unrelenting pain of shingles and know that I’ve made the right choice to get vaccinated […]

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2021 It feels strange to write 2021. Parts of 2020 dripped by slowly and parts rushed by leaving me wondering what happened. Retirement is rushing up and we still haven’t bought our RV. I hope we can find it soon, since I want to live out of my vehicle and 5th wheel, camping […]

Good-bye to my Mother-in-Law

November 16, 2020 I would like to thank those of you who expressed sympathy for our family’s loss. Bruce and I flew to Jacksonville, FL and drove to Jekyll Island, GA to be with his family on Delta. We were also able to attend his mother’s visitation and funeral. My mother-in-law loved the outdoors and […]
