I am so bad! Brother, Bob, says I have an obligation to keep up a blog once it is started. So much has happened since writing on this blog the last time. We went to Florence, SC. and continued driving down to the Doctor's office twice a week. We spent a happy Easter with the family. Tom then started developing racing heart. Twice the normal beat but would not see a Dr. about it. On April 5, 2011 we left Florence towards home and made it there by the grace of God. We arrived in Lee's Summit, MO. on the 8th. We made an appointment to see Dr. as soon are we arrived and he sent him straight to the hospital. After a lot of tests, they decided he had no blood clots so they "Shocked" him into regular rhythm. After staying a few days in the hospital, regulating medication and blood thinner, he was sent home. It was decided that he would return for a heart ablation in the near future so he could get off some of his medicines.
As for his eye, he has been seeing Dr. Silverstein. Treatments have continued. He will have a cornea transplant July 23rd. He will have his heart ablation done July 10. This will be a busy month for him.
We have had a great visit with lots of friends and family since being back in the KC area. Family, birthdays, Raytown Summerfest, and holidays. We have been staying mostly at the Good Sam RV Park in Grain Valley, MO. Not too many parks in the KC area. We have been pleased with the park and the caring people there. It has a pool but only be in a couple of times when nieces and their children came. I should be taking advantage of it more. Everything is convenient here - shopping, restaurants, dog park, etc. The only downside is the miles driving back and forth to family and friends in Raytown, Lees Summit, and Overland Park.
We were hoping to be gone by now to Maine and that area but we must get Tom well first. Looks like we will be staying here until around late Aug. if things go as planned.
I will try to back up in time and add more about the previous months.
