Spring Training 2023 - Day 53

Judy is still in the hospital.  Slowly getting better but no estimate for discharge just yet.

Not much else to report tonight.

Spring Training 2023 - Day 52

 Judy is getting better.  She had a pretty good day today with notable progress.  Not ready for discharge, still a way to go and I suspect, with the Easter weekend ahead, early next week may be the target.  Of course, it will depend on her condition.

Obviously, we will not be home as planned by 4/15.  We will pace ourselves accordingly and may lay up for a few days after discharge to make sure she is ready to travel.

Spring Training 2023 - Day 51

 An interesting day today.

Judy continues to progress in her recovery. Improvement is slight but seems to be steady as the antibiotics treating her Pneumonia kick in.  It is still going to take some time before she is well and ready to travel.

We also had an incident back home early this am (2:00 am).  Two cars, one apparently following the other, missed the turn at the bottom of our street (Black Oak Dr,) went airborne into our property with one landing at the bottom of the driveway and catching fire. Our son Kevin, who is at the house, is dealing with the aftermath. Another day in the hood.

Oh, going home from then hospital the truck would not start.  I left the headlights on when I arrived at the hospital this morning.  It was then a AAA call for a jump start to get back to the RV.

Tomorrow will be better.

Spring Training 2023 - Day 50

Judy continues her recovery at the hospital. Each day is a little better, but it is going to take some time to get well.

She is getting great care at a modern 5-county hospital in rural Georgia, although Tifton, GA is a fairly large city in the center of a busy agricultural part of GA. We are fortunate she didn't get sick in a more remote area of the country on the way home.

I am at the hospital all day and staying in the RV at night at the RV where we arrived last Sunday.  Doing OK.

Spring Taining 2023 - Day 49

Still here in Tifton and Judy is still in the hospital.  There are continuing her tests and monitoring her condition.  Vitals are still good, and she is resting but tired.  Might know more tomorrow.

She in a very good hospital and getting great care.

Spring Training 2023 - Day 48

Judy woke up this morning and wasn't feeling well.  We went to the ER at the regional hospital in Tifton to make sure it wasn't anything serious.  After a series of tests, they decided to keep her overnight for more tests in consideration of her medical history. She is feeling better than this morning and we will see how everything goes tomorrow.

We have cancelled our trip to Alabama and will head straight home when Judy is ready.

Spring Training 2023 - Day 47

We left Bay Bayou at 10:00 am after topping off the propane and checking out.

It was a busy drive through Tampa heading North on I-75.  It got worse as we approached Ocala. Traffic was very heavy, and we had congestion for the better part of an hour going forward (10-20 miles per hour}. No construction or accidents just too many vehicles. In observing license plates as we were creeping along, most were from out of state.  Snowbirds and spring breakers on the way home is what it looked like.

We also had some wind, some construction lane compression delays near Valdosta, GA and a thunderstorm as we approached our destination. Anyway, we are now in Tifton, GA (about halfway to Atlanta)., arriving around 5:00 pm.

We are staying in a unique RV park, a type we have never stayed in before. Its business model is a place to park your RV for the night with full hookups in a gated location.  Thats it. You get a reservation online and a gate code, a site assignment and an Internet password.  Not a site employee in sight.  Anyway, we are here.  The weather has passed, and we leave for Anniston, AL in the morning.

The return journey begins.
