Health Set Backs

 

The last part of 2020 and the first month of 2021 has sucked. It all started just before Christmas then they found that I had blood clots in both lungs and being in the Hospital. While in the Hospital was found that I had a 99 blockage in my heart. Had a stent put in and all seems to be good until I tested positive for Covid-19 with pneumonia that cause me to have to remain in the Hospital for a few more days. Luckily everything is getting better and I am feeling 100 percent better. I do have some Doctor appointments to follow up with that stopped our travel plans. Guess we will be here until March.

The weather here in East Tennessee has sucked so far it has been either raining , snowing or cloudy for the last month it seems , hopefully it will get better soon. We are in a nice campground the is close to everything so if the weather gets better there is a lot to see and do. We have been able to get up into the Smokey Mountains and Caves Coves a few times to do some sightseeing . For now I am just working on doing a full recovery and getting back to normal. 

Travel Plans Update

Looks like we are going to be staying here in Tennessee until the end of December before heading to Florida. Doctors found that I have blood clots in both lungs and want us to stay put for a few more weeks. Not looking forward to spending the winter where it can get cold and maybe even snow, but Gwen is loving it. We are having a lot of fun sightseeing and taking short day trips. The traffic in the Smokey Mountains area is really bad so we try to stay away for that area on the weekends . Here are a few more picture to look at and there will be more to come.

We may be staying here until the end of Dec. not sure yet it will depend on what happens we I go to the doctors on Nov 15th. They have to do another Cat scan of the lungs. Just have to wait and see what happens.
