You know, we have a saying in our family: "It's not a vacation until somebody goes to the ER." We've had everything from burst eardrums and corneal abrasions to pneumonia, skull fracture and seizures. We have a whole collection of pictures taken at ERs we've visited around the country.
My DH has been suffering from severe lung disease for about 10 years. He's just 57. This year he got progressively sicker and sicker with his heart. It got so bad that we have had to stop towing. Our camper is set up in the North Georgia mountains now and while we do love it up there, it limits us to just that campground.
In June DH suddenly began to tank. He had open heart surgery and was hospitalized for a week. Went home for 4 days and had to be re-hospitalized--diagnosis: kidney failure. Yikes! Thankfully he is recovering well now but we have not been able to camp since March because of his health issues. But I see the writing on the wall. The heart surgery fixed the heart but nothing will fix the lungs, short of a lung transplant. So we'll just keep rocking along for now and try to go up to the mountains sometime in Oct or Nov.
