Is It Spring Yet???

     We have had the rainiest winter ever here on the Oregon Coast. I am ready for some sunshine time.  Oregon State Parks are busy even in the winter as well as KOA's camps.  Rain does not deter people around here. Andrew has been pulling host duties for both of us.  If you recall from a few post ago when I had my fall and posted pictures, I was laid up.  Well I am still laid up and have been on a regular roller- coaster ride. The initial fall was on January 4th, and I have yet to be treated for the problems.  After 5 days I finally went to the hospital ER, had Xray's (foot,knee,ribs,head Ct) Hospital said nothing broke or wrong just swelling etc sent me home to ice and ace wrap on Jan 11th.  On Feb. 3rd had Dr. apt with my doctor and injuries were still same so had her take a look, her reaction was OH MY  she wanted more  xrays so had more done, have a dislocated fracture of right big toe and bruised ankle, and some kind of tear in tendon/ligament in right knee, had MRI on knee, and  have a high grade sprain & partial tear of the medial collateral ligament, subchondral bone bruise involving the posterior of the lateral tibial plateau, extensive edema (Fluid and joint effusion.
Long story short somebody sure screwed up diagnosis here and I am finally seeing Otho specialist on next Monday Feb 22nd........after waiting nearly two month in extreme pain, misery and many tears. 

We may be moving back to Nehalem on the river at Nehalem Shores again.  We've been trying to get a place there again, in fact it was the one we originally wanted a few years ago that is available again.  We made her the only offer we can right now and she was willing to meet and discuss it further March 4th, so we are hopeful and keeping it in our prayers.  Will keep the RV for winter get away from here next winter.  We are also looking forward to having our grandchildren for spring break. We have some fun things planned.  Of course don't know how good I will be moving around next month or what they have to do to fix my leg and toe? At any rate I will manage.

We had a tragic week in the community last week with the local officer that was shot and his services.  We also had a whale wash up recently and caused a real ruckus about town. Well I can't sit long have to move around now and get more ice.  More to come as to the injury ordeal....

Closing Out the Year

     We are glad indeed to be at the end of 2015.  not one of our better years for sure.  We just wondered aimlessly this past year making one bad decision after another.  It seems since we had to leave Las Vegas when Andrew became sick we have been lost.  Our life was completely changed in a 6-8 month period very dramatically. It was very overwhelming for us and we had made good friendships and lasting bonds with people there in our community.  That was suppose to be our forever home.  Since leaving Vegas we have been to California, Oregon, Corpus Christie TX, Hawaii, and back to Oregon again. I am almost certain that we are home in Oregon to stay.  We may go for a few months in winter someplace but plan to stay here. We simply don't have the energy or desire to go again. At any rate we hope this next year graces us with stability and helps us to find our perfect spot here on the Oregon Coast to land.  We are looking to buy something here.  We have a couple things we are consideri

Summer Season

     Well we are off to a great summer here on the Oregon Coast! It has been a busy month for us as we moved from Ft. Stevens south to Tillamook county Park.  We have been enjoying the change and the park here, and an opportunity presented itself for us to manage another RV park close by also in Tillamook ( Wilson River RV Park ).  The park came under new ownership and he was given our names as somebody who could be his managers of the park.  We met with him last week and accepted the position.  The park has been neglected for the last year as it was being held by the bank and a property management company was overseeing the park.  Nothing a little elbow grease and few repairs can't fix.  It is a prime location for fishing and hunting as it sits right on the river, and of course there is all the attractions of the coast and Tillamook here as well.  We are excited for the challenge of this new adventure. We will miss our friends at the county park but will be close still to BBQ and

Our Plans are like Jello Sometimes it just doesn't set!

 We had a change of plans, and came to California where we decided to sell the motor home.  We didn't expect it to sell in two days time.  We arrived to San Clemente on the 1st of December and sold motor home on 3rd.  We rented an apartment in the downtown (1 block over from Main Street Del Mar) area close to the beach.  We had a great holiday with some of the family and Shawn was home also.  We are enjoying being close to family and our new great grand baby is absolutely adorable.  She is the happiest baby I've ever seen.  We have gotten all our medical appointments under way and scheduled and it feels good to be in one place settled again.  We're enjoying walking the beach everyday and all the little shops and restaurants.  Don't miss the motor home it was a lot of stress for us and after Drew's stroke was just too much to handle.  We did enjoy our trips through the summer and made good use of it.  So now we are in San Clemente for at least a year we signed a leas
