we are coming home

yesterday, we saw Dr Dew and and he took x-rays and said to come back when neccessary. He said the other side of the bone that makes up the knee joint is now wearing and when/if the pain gets to be too much, it will be time to put in the the replacement.

This morning we saw the kidney specialist who verified that my kidneys are ok, and we do not need dialysis. he said I should be taking iron tablets because my iron is low. Otherwise, everything is fine, so go North if we want to. We then visited our new GP, Dr Burros, who agreed that things appear to be in pretty good shape, so we should be able to travel North, to come back and see him when we get back. So we have clearance to go North.

Now we have to decide what to take, what to leave, whether to pull the boat or leave it in the water. We have some lawn work to do and the the actual loading of the car and trailer. And the temperature is predicted for the low 90's.

We are not certain when we are leaving, but it will probably be over the weekend, and it may take 3 rather than 2 days. We also do not know how long we will be up North, but will figure that out later.
