I can’t even remember when I last posted so if I repeat myself just be gracious and bear with me.
We arrived in Frisco, CO and began our camp hosting job at Peak One Campground around the 20th of May. We have had a good summer but have been very, very busy with everything that goes on in the campground…we oversee 28 sites which is just enough for me. We take care of cleaning the sites when a camper leaves, the bathrooms and lots and lots of paperwork.
We have also had some personal things going on…at 11:00 am on June 28 we had to let our Little Buddy Moore go to sleep…he had gotten to where he had not eaten in several days and was not able to even keep a sip of water down. We spent the entire day of the 27th at the vet’s office trying to make things better but by the next morning it was evident that this was not to be. Our little guy will always be with us in spirit and in our hearts.
At the same time, Bob was going through a really weird situation. He, as a pedestrian, was hit by a travel trailer that was coming into the campground. Long story short…he was knocked unconscious…had a CT scan at the ER to confirm that he had a concussion…referred to an internist because the CT scan revealed that Bob had hydrocephalus and the ER doctor felt he had had it for a long time. Internist ordered a spinal tap…then referred Bob to a neurosurgeon in Denver. He ordered an MRI and final diagnosis is that yes, Bob does indeed have hydrocephalus and was probably born with it…his ventricles are “huge” per the neurosurgeon. Final word is that they don’t want to put a shunt in as they feel Bob has compensated for this all through his life and they are afraid the shunt might do more harm than good. This is good news as far as we are concerned…at least we now know to watch for certain things that might…key word is might…take place or may never happen. They are betting that things probably won’t change for Bob…thank you God for a great report.
Now for the fun things…we actually took the time to have our first campfire last week and treat ourselves to s,mores! I thought Bob was going to OD on them…Carolyn thinks she outdid him but I am not sure. We had a great evening with our friends and co-hosts, Carolyn and Roy and friends Nelda and Jim who are hosting at another campground not far from us.
Cissy says “ Whatdyamean there aren’t any more?”
We had three gentlemen camping with us the other night from Arkansas…hope you can see the little brown bear that rode the whole way on the back of the motorcycle in the center…kind of hard to see. The gentleman said the wind caused the bears arms to flap and all the kids in cars thought the bear was waving at them…they also travelled with a gnome that belonged to one of their uncles.
Today we had to come into Denver…getting new tires on the motorhome in the morning. We are staying at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds which is located in Golden, CO…a suburb of Denver. Nice camping area and easy to get to. We will return to Frisco as soon as we are done tomorrow…the company we work for, Thousand Trails, is having an employee appreciation dinner tomorrow evening.
Moving on.
