Foggy and Damp

Friday was beautiful, sunny, and warm, but unfortunately, I didn't get outside much.

I took Mom to the doctor Friday for the results of her tests.  They all came out negative, so we're back to square one as to what is wrong with her.  She feels it's her heart because she's having discomfort in that area but the cardiologist checked her out and said her heart is fine.  The doctor suggested she see a different cardiologist and we have an appointment for one that came highly recommended.  In the meantime they are going to put a holter monitor on her for a few weeks to monitor what's going on.  She's pretty depressed because nothing has been found and she's feeling worse and worse.  Saturday is her 81st birthday.  We're trying to help her stay positive, but it's not easy.

Al went to Bushnell Friday for an appointment and checked out two Rv parks for a possible stay.  They are just a little too far from Mom's house so we don't think we'll be able to go there.  This place is too expensive though.  We have reservations for Welaka Lodge and Rv Resort starting the 29th, but I think we'll have to cancel that as well.  So far we've had to cancel every reservation we've made.

We spent the day with Mom yesterday and finally got her out of the house.  I think some of her problem is depression and we think getting her out is good medicine.  We took her to Sam's to buy some Christmas gifts and we got her a new microwave.  After that we took her to Outback for a birthday dinner.  We were hesitant because Outback usually has a long line.  We had to take a beeper and they told us it would be a 20-30 minute wait.  In about 5 minutes they called us to our table.  That's the problem with Florida in the winter....lots of tourists and snowbirds and all the restaurants are very crowded...even at 5pm!  Mom and I had the WalaHalla pasta, which is a chicken and pasta with vegetables.  It was excellent. It's not even on the menu anymore but they will fix it for you if you ask.  It's always been one of my favorites.  I sure wish I knew how to make it.   Al got a steak and lobster, so he was a happy boy as well.

Today is very foggy and damp, but there are people on the golf course.  Die hards, I guess.  We have another cool front coming in and the temps will only get into the mid 60's.  I can handle that :)

We are going to try to re-mount the living room Tv today.   We just have it setting on the dash because Al needs to hook up the Tivo and new home theater system.  We had to take the Tv out of the motorhome and use it in the house when our big Tv conked out. Hopefully today will be the day we get it done!  We just got our fresh water hose hooked up yesterday.  Al had a leaky connection and it took some time to get it done...and we had no time.

Our Florida vacation hasn't been much fun so far, but we appreciate the warmer weather and it's good to see family.
