My Rehab

I tossed the walker after two weeks, the cane after three and was back into the vette after four.  My staples were lovely but had to be removed.
Isn't that fat and ugly...yuk.  But the swelling is now mostly gone and the scar is very fine and I think it will almost disappear.  John is still the champion of the zipper club!!!

Since I started to get more mobile we have been down to visit Tom's cousin Rodger and Terry.  We are storing our 5th at their place so we took them down a cooler containing a steak dinner and all the trimmings as a thank you.

John and Judy were up for a visit and we did a tour checking out kayaks for future reference.  Ever since we kayaked in Florida last winter we have been talking about buying a couple.  John and Judy were thinking about trading in their blow up kayaks for real ones.  Especially after encountering alligators up close and personal last winter.


We had looked at some at Costco.  Judy did a bunch of research after they headed home and decided that these were the best buy.  They called to see if we would head over and check them out.  We picked up 4 at a great price.  John toured up and collected theirs a few days later.  

Last weekend we headed up to Grangeway's RV Park where we had our 5th last summer.  Friends Dave and Helen have their 5th in the park this summer.  Had a lovely dinner with them and stayed overnight.  Lots of parties happening in the park and one was right next door.  But at the stroke of midnight everyone quiets down.  A nice park for sure.

John and Judy have decals on their RV - Maverick and Eagle, respectively.  They had extras to put on their new kayaks.  Since they are all the same they wanted to make sure no one messed with theirs.   Not to be outdone by the Hollinger's I made up decals for our kayaks.

 
 Tom wants those alligators to take note this winter....Do Not Bite Me...!!

I expect that kayaking will make my aches and pains vanish!!  If I can get in and out that is. 


Can't wait to try them out.  My knee is not able to bend enough for me to use mine yet but hope not to have to wait too long.

Granddaughter, Taylor, sent me this picture.  Had to share.
She is working as a medic at the local rodeo this weekend.  She says "should be easy...no one will get hurt riding psycho bulls...lol"  She reports not too many injuries to attend to on Saturday and hopes today will be the same.



Until next time - safe travels.
