It just never fails, whenever we think we are ready to go to move someplace, something has to breakdown.
We were supposed to head for Q yesterday but the valve on our propane tank decided to quit working. It’s the valve that switches the propane from one tank to the other. So Jim had to buy a new valve and decided it was also time to replace all the hoses. Took several hours and many trips to different stores to find everything that he needed. Then a couple more hours to get everything put back together again. That was all on Monday afternoon. We still thought we could get out of here on Tuesday. Yeah right!
Jim’s doctor is concerned about his blood sugar levels and told him that if he didn’t get them under control he would not okay him for surgery. We have really been being very good since then with our diet. The doctor also gave him a prescription that needed to be filled. So off he goes to Walmart where they already have our insurance information on record. An hour later I finally text him to find out where he’s at. He’s still in line. It took him almost two hours to get his prescription. By this time it was already afternoon and we still didn’t have everything put away to be able to take off.
It is now Wednesday morning and we are ready to go. We’ll wait for some of rush hour to die down and be on our way. Yippee.
Hope all goes well and that you are able to leave today. Enjoy Quartzite.

Praying that this med gets that blood sugar level under control. I am sure he wants to get the surgery over and get out of that pain he is in!
ReplyDeleteSafe travels to the "Q".
Safe travels! Take care!!!
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never! :)
ReplyDeleteNo lemon meringue pie for Jim. All the more for Sandie.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are finally on the way. I always rate "home" improvements by the number of trips to the store it took. John is always convinced he has everything when he starts but its often a couple trips later until all is fixed. :)
ReplyDeleteSee you sometime today. We'll all watch out for Jim. We'll put him on a no sugar and no carb diet.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels to Q - at least you should have great weather!
ReplyDeleteAnd-----they are off! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThis medical stuff is always a bit of tricky business with any variables of unknowns. Those unending RV break down problems are bad enough when they happen but when you are all geared up ready to rumble it is an absolute insult!! All the best in your travels to the Q and all the best to Jim and his medical issues......
ReplyDeleteI hope the new meds have no nasty side effects. They can make travel challenging, too.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth about the number of trips to the store it takes to fix a problem. I that Jim's new meds do the trick. Safe travels today!
ReplyDeleteSo frustrating - but at least everything is taken care of, Jim has his meds, the propane is fixed, and you're on your way! Yeaaaa!
ReplyDeleteSee you soon. I'll look for you when I go to the dump in a couple of days. :)
Things are a lot slower in Quartzsite, so perhaps stuff will fall into place better once you are there....

Travel well once you get all the med stuff done. Enjoy the desert!
