A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Went camping this weekend at a campground on the lake, had not been there for a few years. Once there I began to walk around looking at the different sites when I noticed a very old dog. He just lay t...

Well, it's been an interesting week. We made it to Elkhart with no more problems with the tow bar. Got the windshield replaced a day early (pays to show up early) and went to Elkhart Campground for the weekend. Side trips down to Warsaw to see my 95-year old mom and sister, then over to Goshen to see Terry's 89 year old uncle.
Monday morning we went to Shipshewana and had a new refrigerator installed in the coach at National Refrigeration. For those of you that are interested, Leon Hershberger has sold that business to Glen Miller another Amish man and he is the one that did our work. He was done quicker than he thought and it is perfect in every way. A very nice man. $200 to install. Can you believe that? Included taking the other out (4-door Norcold).
We made our way to central Indiana to have our final doctor appointments in Indiana, as we are changing over to Florida doctors, since we have a house there. At this point it was becoming more clear that Terry was in trouble. . . brain fog, slurring/stuttering and shuffling his feet, tremors. Long story short after setting up camp, I drove him to Methodist ER in Indianapolis, a 60 miles drive. He was admitted. It's been a roller coaster week, but really have mostly good news. He thought he may have had a stroke, but that wasn't it. They ran every test there was. The problem was that he has taken so many heart meds over the years, they have started affected his other organs. So he was there for almost a week while they "detoxed" his body. They have changed some meds, dropped several, added one. Today he got his ICD changed out to a new improved model and he was discharged later today. Whew. I was tired of driving back and forth to Indy.
We see our GP tomorrow for the last time, then heading to Charlottesville to see our daughter and family, then home to Florida. We are following up with the heart doctor via telehealth and the liver doctor in Indy is setting up a follow up with a colleague in Tampa. So all is good. Terry is better, albeit tired, than he has been in a long time. These meds have been working on him a long time. . . like slowly being poisoned. Some he can not take anymore. Hoping it all works out.
He just waits way too long to go see a doctor that he ends up in trouble, but hopefully with doctors close by, that won't happen anymore.
