We are back in Galveston for a couple of weeks just waiting in between Vera's doctor appointments. Her back is doing ok, but she still has pain and cannot sit up very long, although she walks quite a bit. Her hip problem has now become more apparent (guess the back was masking it somewhat). Hip specialist appt. on the 22nd.
Meanwhile we are enjoying island life ..... it really feels different here .... more relaxed, more friendly, more interesting things to choose activities from. I know that sounds strange when comparing it to the city of Houston ..... problem is - Houston is too impersonal. Anyway, that's my opinion.
Tomorrow Charlie and I are being given a back roads birding tour by a friend who lives here. Specifically we are interested in the sandhill cranes who are wintering here on the island. We've seen quite a few just by the roadsides and at the airport. I lo-o-o-ve to listen to their calls .... almost like a purring sound.
It was 44 degrees this morning .... and guess what ! .... the furnace got stubborn again and quit working. I don't know but what it has something against our being in cold weather. Actually, so do I, but I don't think it's fair for it to quit working every time we need it. But thank goodness for mobile RV repair services; $60. and we are as good as new...... until the next cold spell.
We have been discussing and recussing travel plans for when we head out, hopefully in a month or so. Alaska is definitely out, so is Nova Scotia for this season. Right now we all agree we would like to see the Great Lakes - all of them.
I'll let you know when we hear about Vera's hip diagnosis/ recommendations.
Later, Marilyn
