Bumps in the Road
We were getting ready to head down the road to Yuma when Jim noticed a change in his vision so we quickly got an appointment with his retinal specialist in Santa Ana. Jim has a form of wet macular degeneration that involves bleeding around the retinal area. Sure enough, there was evidence of new bleeding so he made an appointment for digital pictures of the eye and then a treatment to hopefully stop the bleeding. This time he's opting for a new drug injection which is supposed to stop the spread of blood vessels in the area. It is actually a cancer treatment being used for this purpose.
Since everything in our life had been moving along nicely I took this news kind of hard. Silly me. It's just another bump on the road and we'll get past it. My reaction seems to be that immediately I think of ALL bad things that could happen and lump them together into the current situation. Pretty dumb. Ya gotta just take one bump at a time.
So rather than head for Yuma we headed for a new spot in Hemet. We'd been at Vail Lake for over a month and I must admit to being a bit lonely there because the campground is nearly empty all week. So we moved to a "snowbird" resort, Golden Village Palms and already have visited with several neighbors. It's a totally different ambience in a park like this compared to one where campers come and go all the time. And this is a city park so all the stores we need are just around the corner rather than 10 miles down the winding road.
Bottom line here is that I must do more motorhome driving so I can take over if need be. I'm tough, I can do that.
