After a rainy couple of days in the Phoenix area, we finally got a little break late yesterday afternoon.
Jim saw the vascular specialist yesterday, and as we expected he pretty much agreed with the hematologist and recommended he stay on the Xarelto (blood thinner) forever. He also told him to take fish oil, stay well hydrated, and not to sit for long periods of time. Said to come back in a year, so we have been set free from the Mayo Clinic for awhile.
No, we didn’t get another cat, but we met Lily and her owner hanging out on a tree limb in the picnic area while we were hiking the other day.
Many of you may have already heard about Campendium, the new web site for finding places to camp. Developed by our friends Brian and Leigh (Aluminarium), it looks like it will be a great comprehensive resource, which will get even better as more people add reviews and links to blog posts about RV parks, public campgrounds, and even boondocking spots. They’ve put many hours of hard work into this, so check it out!
We’re leaving White Tank Mountain today but haven’t decided for sure where we’re going. Guess we’ll figure it out when we turn the key.
Your photographs today are just stunning with the clouds and the cactus. Really beautiful. I love the idea of having no idea where you are going. Pretty sure that isn't possible on the east coast and certainly not in Florida. Guess that's why you are out there in all that beauty.
ReplyDeleteTucson is still experiencing the rain. It's making us crazy! Glad you've been released from the Mayo and are free to roam about the country at will. Looking forward to see where you go next.
ReplyDeleteExcept for the thinner, it sounds like a "prescription" we should all follow at "this" age :-) Clouds make such a change in the look of the desert, your pics are beautiful. Love the freedom of no plans, being able to choose a direction when you get to the next intersection. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you've been released! Had a wonderful evening with Suzanne and now we're planning more fun!
ReplyDeleteThe desert always seems to come alive after a rainstorm. Beautiful photos capturing the low clouds. Glad to hear you'll be off and roaming. Safe travels :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is just fun to see where you end up at the end of the day. Looking forward to seeing where that is. I am looking out the window at snow and a fog.............actually it is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteour Mayo appointments are next week and we hpe to be free for a year as well...
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. We haven't been to White Tanks, so we have missed a beautiful part of the desert. Glad Jim doesn't have to come back to the doctor for a year. Good news.
ReplyDeleteGlad Jim is doing better. I think our great weather is over for a while. The rain must be headed north as we are supposed to get it starting tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteRelease! Yippee!! And no particular place to go. Even better. Those shots of the low clouds over the desert are magnificent. The cracking saguaro looks unusual.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Jim gets a year off!! Not sitting for long periods fits perfectly into your life style. I think the doctor meant hike and bike more:)
ReplyDeletePam and John just told us about Campendium. I haven't looked at it yet but will. I am really disappointed in the new look of RV Reviews. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteThe desert sure looks gorgeous after all the rain this winter! We'll be heading East on Monday, can't wait for some new scenery! Glad to hear Jim is doing all right and despite having to take the drugs indefinitely he is able to fully enjoy life!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out you guys! I'm glad Jim is in the clear. :)
