Having Fun

It has been awhile since I last put something on this blog. I have visited Washington DC with my son Steve T., gone to Indianapolis, IN, Fremont, OH and Luray, VA to look at job sites. We camped overnight on the Indy trip and two nights on the Luray trip. On the Luray trip we camped the first night on the PA turnpike at a service plaza. We had left at 9PM after church and drove until 1AM. We got up and drove to Luray getting there at noon for a meeting with a client. We then went to Skyline Drive and camped overnight at Big Meadows Campground. Did not see a bear but saw a lot of wildlife including getting real close to some really big bucks (deer). We got there at about 4PM in a heavy rain and fog. It continued pretty much all night and was off and on fog the next day. We had fun and got home around 10PM. We got up Saturday about 9:30AM and called Steve T. We packed up the camper again and went to the Air Show with Steve T., Tyler, Josh, Heather, Ron, Caleb, Micah, nephew Mike and his four. We sat in the muni parking lot across from the show. We saw all the planes that flew, scaring the little ones, but missed the jet truck race. The camper worked out good for food, refrigeration, shade and oh yes, toilet. I think all the kids went at least twice, the novelty of it I guess. Sure made it easier on us all though.

I am doing fine health wise. My strength continues to increase but so does the pain in my right arm and side from the operation. I find I cannot drive the time and distances like I use to. Patti helps out quite a lot with the driving now. I have completed 20 chelation treatments and I really feel better. I have six more to go over the next 12 weeks. I do see the oncologist on Friday as I have some minor concerns and will be addressing them with him. Continue to pray for my strength to return and my immune system to keep continuing to increase to fight off anything.
