June 26th, Tuesday – Bump in the Retirement Road, Medical Issues

We were up at 6 am this morning because I had a 7:15 am chiropractor appointment about 20 to 30 minutes away.  By no means our usual waking hour that is for sure.  But finding a chiropractor who will see you when traveling is no easy feat so you take what you get in terms of appointment times.   So we were up and out of the house by 6:30 am with a packet of forms already filled out.

We made it on time and I ended up staying there for over 2 hours and came away with my wallet considerably lighter than when I went in.  Nope, this chiropractor does not work with medicare nor supplemental insurance.  They will fill out and submit the forms for you but you are on the hook until reimbursement comes.  I have visits each day this week also out of our own pockets.  Now if she worked a miracle and I could say I was 100% better, I don’t think I would be so upset.  Unfortunately, I am only so so, I still have my good moments and my really bad moments.  Time will tell.

What really has me discouraged is that I’m not allowed to do a thing for the next couple of days.  I can’t do maintenance, clean the windshield, wash the bugs off the front, check tire pressure, clean the lockers, vacuum – absolutely nothing.  It is not in my nature to just lie around all day reading books and watching movies on Amazon Prime.  We can’t even go sight-seeing because I still can’t sit for long periods of time.  Oh yea, I’m about ready to flip out.  Or scream.  Maybe both.  The only one keeping me grounded right now is my loving wife.  Without Barbara helping me get through this I would be absolutely miserable.

However, for the next couple of days I’ll keep up the blog.  I have some notes about this area, its history, etc.  that I’ll share with everyone.  There will, though, be nothing big and earth shattering in terms of discoveries.

For now I’ll call it a day.  I hope everyone is having a great week and having no major issues.  Let me leave you with this thought that is now ever so much on my mind:

As always,  if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries, let me suggest that you turn them over to God.  After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.

Time now for our evening prayers and eventually some shut-eye.  Till tomorrow.

These are the voyages of  Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans.  Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
