So I had better back up a little and explain ... this is where the UFFDA part come in to play! The day after Thanksgiving Randy had a total knee revision - a surgery that was supposed to take an hour and a half start to finish turned out to be five and a half hours in the operating room. Bottom line is that he had lots of bone loss in the lower part of the leg that required lots of bone grafts! He is doing well but is on crutches because he can't put any weight on the leg until the bone grafts heal. There have been a few challenges - he wears a brace that keeps him from bending his leg more that 60 degrees so wiggling into the small closet that houses the "john" could have been an issue but we had an ample 17 inches from the wall to the front of the toilet! With persistence and caution we have adapted and are doing quite well. And feeling more like "true full time RVers!"It is a funny thing - as I sit here looking out my window that is covered with 'bubble wrap" to keep some of the cold out - seems that most of our neighbors are packing up and moving on. Either they are not so hardy or they know something that we don't know. I like to believe that it the hardy part. But we now occupy the corner all to ourselves which makes letting the dog out much easier! And we have an unobstructed view diagonally across the campground to the office for whatever that is worth and parking is not a problem. What the heck - the hardy shall prevail!
So with short ribs in the crock pot, a cup of hot tea and the Broncos game on I'll leave you with this... "I'm dreaming of a green Christmas, just like the ones I've heard about. Where the ocean sparkles and the palm trees sway ... and swimsuits abound upon the beach..." Merry Christmas from snowy and cold Fort Collins! Stop by if you are in the area!
