The 2005 Travels of Richard n Shirley

We are fulltime RV's. This means we have no other home but our motor home. We joined the Escapees RV Club and use their mail forwarding service and forum. In addition to Escapees forum, you can find us on rv.net and lrv2.com. We are Richard n Shirley on all of them. We access the internet with a Direcway satellite dish mounted on a tripod. We do set up the dish at every place we stop for the night or more. We are #2321 on datastormusers.com. Click us and you will find our current location.

Its a cold 49 this morning and we have light showers. The front is thru here and is going to be fall temps for sure. We will have nothing like the Dakotas with snow.

We went to the VA clinic in Fort Worth wednesday and got new meds. Since I am having some chest pain and have been having since early this year, we will be making a trip to Dallas VA hospital to see a cardiologist. I am hoping to be admitted and go to the cath lab and see what is going on. My doctor here is real concerned. He had a new ekg run and compared it to the one from last March to see if there was any difference. None he could detect. We are awaiting a call from Dallas with an appointment.

My new meds consist of a higher dose of high blood pressure medicine, new nitrate for chest pain to be taken daily and the zocor. The nitrate is to relax the chest vessels and prevent pain and a possible heart attack. I have been getting progressivly worse with my cheast pain. It is more often daily and radiates more. And for the first time it affected me on the golf course and has stopped my walking. My weight is not out of bounds for my age and height. I have no other illnesses. Its just part of getting old i guess.

Today is moving day. Our spot is reserved thru the weekend and the new people will be here today. We have a new spot off the hill and near the water for four days. We can only stay here for 14 days in a 28 day month and then we have to leave the campground. We are able to stay in this campground for seven more days from this saturday. There is no other COE park to go to close by. We are in this one as its close to the TRE, train to the hospital for Shirley. Once the hospital calls, we can make further plans.

Once all this is taken care of and we are allowed to travel, we will see my son and family in Dallas and then dughter and family in San Antonio. After that its tofind warme weather and jobs for the winter. We got to work and oay back the high cost of getting started and work on the rv for next year. Plans for next year are to go west and see that which neither of us have seen before. Sounds like a new blog for 2006 to me.
