New Happy 2015

Just a short recap as to what 2014 has been for me.  I feel blessed that I can live this dream.  It’s not to say that there aren’t problems,  only that I can work through them with a better attitude.

I sit here thinking about this past year and there is a lot to think about.  I started 2014 working through Physical Therapy for my broken left arm.  Even after exhausting the allotted 12 visits with Medicare I still had problems, but lived with it. 

I finished my commitment workamping in Mesa AZ and in April drove to CA with my son’s help and got set up at JD Grant Co Park where I would be a Camp Host through October. I’ve enjoyed working at both places.  Of the two of them, I think I prefer Camp Hosting. 

Since my arm wasn’t getting back to normal, I checked with a specialist in San Jose, who suggested that I have additional surgery, which I did in late October.  Because of the surgery, I wasn’t able to workamp for the winter.  Instead, I have been paying for a site in an RV park in Santa Cruz and going to additional PT.  So far the arm is getting better, even the numbness seems to be getting better.  I mostly have to work on strengthening the arm, but have got most of my mobility back.

As much as I like living near Santa Cruz, there have been problems.  I seem to be trying to keep warm and dry.  There have been heavy rains and leaks.  I have never liked  having carpet in the bedroom and bathroom and have wanted to replace it with other flooring.  It seems that I will do that sooner than anticipated.  The bedroom window leaked and saturated the carpet.  I have removed it and am now trying to dry the base floor.  I certainly don’t need to have mold.  The window has been fixed as well as the W/D Vent to the outside.  The rubber gasket on the slide also leaks, but that will have to wait, so the slide will stay in until I can get it fixed.  It is still damp in some places.  Someone suggested using salt crystals that draws moisture out of the air.  My son suggested that I try Damp-Rid.  I have purchased a couple and put one in the bedroom and one under the Sofa/Sleeper.  I will see if that helps.

I was able to make a couple of trips to Sacramento for the Holidays.  Ted and I stayed with friends, Steven and Kyle.  Thank you both for your hospitality.

I have had some issues with how I download, store and retrieve pictures.  For some reason I’m not able to put them in folders like I have in the past.  I’m sure it is some thing that I have done,so until I figure it out there won’t be too many of them.

I hope that you all have a Happy. Healthy and Prosperous New Year.

Thanks for visiting
