Hello

[RanDe_s]

I've been a member of this forum for awhile now and I don't think I have ever introduced myself. My name is DeAnna, usually go by De, and my DH's name is Randy. We are avid campers and are on our third fifth wheel. We are seasonal campers, but are looking forward to retirement and would like to try full-timing, in about five years. I'm like a sponge and have been absorbing so much information here and have learned so much, so thank you to for all who contribute to my learning.

I know I'm going to have so many questions, but I usually find answers to any questions by searching here. I have a couple of questions that I haven't found yet. One is, where do you go for your hair appointments? I go every five weeks for a cut and color and have gone to the same person for over 20 years and I'm not sure how I'd find someone every five weeks to cut it like I like and color it like I'm used to. Another question, what do people do that need to have their blood tested on a regular basis? My DH is on coumadin and needs his blood tested monthly. I hope that by the time we retire, they will have do-it-yourself kits for testing it. 🙂

Thanks in advance!

Can't help you on the hair question since I've lost most of mine.

The blood testing may depend on your insurance coverage. For example, I have Tricare Standard (retired military) so I don't need any referrals. If I know I need something in a particular town, I'll check the website for participating doctors in that area and call well in advance. When I was married my DW needed monthly transfusions so our travel itinerary was dictated by availability of a nearby transfusion center.
