I learned something very important this week. Not to ever skip my thyroid meds for 2 days because I have a sinus infection and then take three doses of Nyquil very close together because of a bad memory. The result...104 temp, monster migraine headache accompanied by throwing up along with what the hospital emergency room doctor called a hypertensive crisis(very high blood pressure) In other words I was experiencing a 'Thyroid Storm". Not a fun three days. Thank the Lord He loves me and heard Barry's prayer because I was in no condition to pray, I could only moan, cry and throw up. Very strange I don't remember much of it. I know I had a cat scan and an ultrasound and they gave me lots of drugs.
All better now though. Another life lesson learned. Loose weight, eat right, take lots of walks and bike rides and NEVER take multiple doses of Nyquil while out of my mind sick with a sinus infection. Good advice to myself I'd say...

Home Again
Here we are in Gettysburg PA. Driving back into this town is the epitome of warm and fuzzy. It's home as far as home goes and as close to home as we get without actually being home. We haven't a house anymore, homeless by choice we like to tell people. Home is where we park it as they say. Right now we're home in Gettysburg. Spent a day with the kids and newest grandbaby on Friday. Took the boys and Britt out to breakfast and spent the afternoon with my mom, Jess and Sarai. Then back to Gettysburg for 15 more days before heading back to the Reading area for a couple weeks. Have to have the taxes done and the plan is to clean out my moms basement or at least rearrange it so it looks cleaned out. She's very visual, I think we can pull it off. If it's organized it will look like less is there, I'm no fool...
We are alone here at the moment. This early in the camping season not too many venture out as it's cool and wet here in March. The weekend was surprisingly full but come Sunday afternoon the campground was quiet and we had the place all to ourselves once again. Soon it will be a different story as the weekend warriors make their bi-annual trek with all the young ones in tow, complete with fishing rods and frisbees and some with the family dog.
Our winter weeks were spent in the Carolina's visiting family in SC and friends in our Carolina home base in Jackson Springs NC. Thanksgiving was and enjoyable time at Sycamore Lodge and Christmas was spent at home in PA. Our greatest Christmas gift was the birth or our newest grandbaby Sarai. She makes six. We're excited to spend the summer close to the little ones and visiting with family until Fall Color beckons us Southward.
That's it in a nutshell. If you're reading here check out Suite101 as well and read the articles here. Let me know what you think. Until next month...
