Still in Texas, Still in recovery

In May I brought you up to date on what we had been doing for the last year.

Shortly after making the post we found out from a neck CT scan that Howard had another spot in his throat. The Doctor scoped his throat but did not believe it was cancer however he wanted Howard to have a PET scan the end if May to see if it was changing any. So we had 3 weeks off from Doctors and we took off to Oklahoma to see our kids, grandkids and attend a family reunion. It was so nice to get away and not have to look at the calendar to see which Doctor we had to see tomorrow.

I would like to say that we were both born and raised in Oklahoma and yes we are Okies. However I cannot believe the sparseness of RV parks. As you may know Norman is home of the University of Oklahoma and the "Sooners" football team. Are there any RV parks in Norman? Yes, one at the county fairgrounds. Very nice people and very good rates as they should be since there are no amenities there. No laundry, no bath house, no shade trees,no grass, just hook ups and a spot to park. Well they have eight 50 amp hook ups that has sewer and water connections and about ten 30 amps with full hook ups. They also have several with just water hook ups and several with water and sewer. But hey at least we finally found someplace to park. Prior to finding this spot we had to park in Oklahoma City 25 miles away from where we wanted to be. I must say the choices there are also sparse but that's where our family is from so we made the best of it.

We did spend 5 days at Lake Murray State Park and found it to be lovely. Our family reunion was held there and we all liked it so much we are all going back next year. It is hard to get spots for the week-end during the summer months as they don't make reservations so we had to arrive on Wednesday and by Thursday noon all spaces were taken. On Sunday people were driving in and asking when we were leaving. One family showed up at 7:30 am to wait for us to leave so they could have our spot--even though we were not leaving until 2 pm which was check out time. I guess I can understand why since RV parks are sparse in OK. Maybe someone should put a few more in in the lovely state.

When we returned to Texas Howard had his pet scan and the Doctor wanted to do a pan-endoscopy and biopsy on the 26th of June. That went without too many hic-ups except he has had a sore throat and difficulty talking ever since. We continue to be hopeful that Howard will get his health back and we will be able to return to the road traveling but until then I will keep you all updated and try to post some interesting tidbits along the way.

Until next time may God continue to Bless you and watch over you.
