It’s a Go

Zephyrhills, Florida (high 85, low 63)

It’s been a bit “iffy”, as to whether or not we’d be able to make our trip down to the Florida Keys, but as of right now, we’re going!

Mom seems to be feeling better now that they finally figured her thyroid levels were way too low and her medicine has been adjusted.  The doctors really dropped the ball on that one.  I am not a big fan of most doctors.  It seems you have to figure out what is wrong with you, then have them prescribe the medicine.

We took Mom out for a little shopping yesterday.  We really needed to stay home and prepare to travel, but we felt taking her out was more important.  We are only driving about 200 miles today and most of it will be on the interstate.  We plan to spend tonight in the Everglades, at Midway Campground.

  6. Good to hear that your Mom is feeling a little better. Kevin always say that doctor's aren't necessarily all that good with diagnosing problems but are great when it comes to actually surgery. Sometimes I think that is so true.

  12. So glad your mom is doing better and her thyroid is being medicated properly. You are so right...we do end up researching our own health and then explaining to the doctors what we need. So glad you all are good to go!!
