It was great to be at Tom Johnson's just for the camping instead of being there for service. We had good visits with Bob & Sue and other friends.
Yesterday (Friday), we left about 11:45 A.M. for the 2 1/2 hour drive through the mountains to River Plantation RV Resort in Sevierville, TN. Our journey was mostly rain-free and the views were picturesque with the bright green of new leaf growth and the redbuds and dogwoods in full bloom.
River Plantation RV Resort is a large campground (see photo #3) with many amenities, including a large conference center and catering service as well as free cable TV. After parking in our site, we got everything set up and then gave Little House a good cleaning inside.
We are attending the Escapees Chapter 29 Fall Rally that starts tomorrow, and that will be followed by the Escapees SKPACRE event, and we'll be here until April 21 in site 199. We'll have more information on these events as the days unfold.
Last night we went to dinner at the Apple Valley Farmhouse Grill, which serves down-home meals starting with complementary apple fritters with apple butter. Their special dinners include, soup, salad, entree, mashed potatoes and gravy served family style, an additional side, and desert. Needless to say, no one in our group of 20 walked out hungry! The service was top-notch and prices were reasonable considering all that was included.
At 1:00 AM Monday Hank received an email notice that the results of his tests at NC Heart and Vascular Center were available, but he was unable to get anyone to give him the results until Thursday afternoon. The PA had initially listened to his arteries using a stethoscope and had heard evidence of some arterial blockage. The tests showed normal blood flow and blood pressure in both legs, feet and all 10 toes, and found some blockage in his left leg but not enough to require invasive treatment. (The right leg is where he had swelling, redness, and scaly patches.) The PA has prescribed Plavix to improve the blood flow in his left leg and suggested a medicated cream for the skin condition on his right leg. She also implied that his symptoms are not what she would expect to have been referred to them, but more likely to a dermatologist. He never saw the doctor, only the PA that assists the doctor, the PA's assistant, and the lab technician. When we get back to Raleigh this fall the PA wants him to come in for another consultation to "keep an eye" on the blockage in his left leg.
