Roger & Lynn Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Lee, Like Jeri and others, we were wondering why we haven't been seeing any posts from you. Hoping that your recovery is a quick one so that we can see you this Fall. Please keep us updated...we think about about you often. Roger & Lynn Quote Roger & Lynn Rempe Class of 2012 & "Class-less"!

IYQ Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Well, I've called my Niece and her husband. Told them the story and told them to take a while to decide what the plan will be. We don't want any snap decisions. So I won't know anything more for a while. My next Dr's appointment is Monday. Maybe he can decipher some of these labs reports for me. Other than being weak I feel pretty good. We had a very pretty rainbow tonight but not much rain. We sure need some too. We haven't had any for a very long time. So I don't feel too sorry for you guys that have been getting drowned. I got the RV Superbag today now that I can't go any place in the RV. It's very nice. The removable sheet is 300 thread count, has a Summer And Winter side and is 42" wide. I've been looking for a single wide with removable sheet for a long time. So now that I can no longer drive and go use the bag, I finally get it. I want to thank y'all for all the kind words you've sent my way. Now if I could just get those cowgirls to feel sorry enough for me to do a little huggin' on me.

palamine Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Not so good news gang. I've been in the Hospital since Monday. I've suffered a stroke. It has killed a large area in the lower left rear lobe of my brain. It hasn't caused any problem with loss of function that has shown up yet but it is triggering Seizures. I've had about 20 in the past 4 days. The bad news is I won't be able to drive for 6 monthes after the last seizure. And they are still going. When I have a seizure there is no twitching etc. The muscle reaction is over in about a minute. But, it leaves me unable to talk and form sentences. I recover my speach within an hour and every thing is as before. However I've noticed I've completely lost a few words which I think was caused by the stroke. I'm going to leave the decisions up to my Nieses and will give them plenty of time to think about it so I don't know yet where I'm going or if I'll stay here and hire someone to keep tabs on me and make sure I don't stink up the place. I have plenty of support here so I'm not worried about drivers, helpers, or even housekeeping. I got alternate plans to take care of the Iowa trip. Right now I'll just let the planning get do without rushing it. When I get settled a bit I'll start posting regularly again. So sorry Lee. We'll be thinking about you. Time to let those nieces look after you. Pampering is good.

hdrider Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 We have made a couple more moves. After a couple nights in Q we headed to Laughlin and spent 3 nights, then to Pahrump and spent 2 nights and drove 260 miles today and are now dry camping by Walker Lake outside of Hawthorne Nevada. Got some good wind right now, heck I keep waiting for surfers to get out on the lake with the white caps there are!! Nice spot with a great lake view. Plan to spend 2 nights here but if the weather doesn't change we might just stay hunkered down until we run out of water anyway. Probably have enough onboard for 4 days maybe 5 but I'm sure it will clear up by then. It's worse where we are headed so no need to make that move LOL!!

IYQ Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Lee- Can you provide us an update on your condition now? Just want to be sure you are doing OK. Jerry and Janice JERRY &JANICE: Not much has changed as far as plans go. I saw the Doctor here this morning he says I'm in good shape for the shape I'm in. My cholesterol is very low and said if it were him he would continue taking the seizure meds even if I stopped having the seizures. He gathered all my records from his office, the Deming hospital and the Las Cruces hospital and put them together for my Niece so she would have everything to get me with the right doctors back east and said that if she has questions to call and leave her number and he'll fill her in on anything he can. The bad news is, I had 6 seizures today but they were a little more mild than what I've been having. I was down to one about every 12 hours. And from my niece, she wanted to start for here today but my Nephew's doctor says not until Thursday, However we have it pretty much figured out so we can get everything done. That's about all I'll know until I get to SC and get another doctor. I have all the help I need as long as I stay here in Deming. The Cowgirls even ask me if I need someone to cook for me. I should take them up on it. Wow.

Wanderin Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 . The Cowgirls even ask me if I need someone to cook for me. I should take them up on it. Wow. That's good news that your niece is coming out. So, you will be going to South Carolina and the good thing is you won't have to do the driving. We all want to know how you're doing so if possible, keep us informed. You definitely should take the cowgirls up on doing the cooking for you. You've certainly taken them to enough meals. I'm sure they are more than willing to cook you a few too. Glad to hear that the seizures are mild. Hopefully, that's a good sign and the medicine is working. Take care !

Well, we haven't been able to practice flying as much as we wanted. However, it has been so much fun that we upgraded to a Phantom 3 Advanced. Now I just need to figure it out. We're hoping to get a little flying in when we get north. We did discover if the batteries in the remote die, you just might have a flyaway! Not fun but all turned out okay.

If you do the Phantom Dance and you have a disturbance between the transmitter and copter it should return to the place to took off. I'm sure it's the same with the 3. BUT if the last place you did "The Dance" you might mistake it as a fly away.

Wanderin Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Starting to plan our winter travels next year and was wondering if there are any early plans for a Quartzite gathering in January 2017??? We plan to spend December in San Diego and then slowly head east from there... Golly, you want us to commit to January in April ?? I can tell you we'll be in and out of the Portland area most of the summer and head south in late fall probably San Diego area (maybe). We've been to "Q" many times. Maybe a different location for next January ? Yuma? Tucson? Borrego Springs?
