Week 1 2011

Greetings from the Lone Star State:

Well I saw where those darn Cats hijacked the blog last week and promised that We would keep it going , either them or John, so I guess I better do it, if I want to get any sleep.

As many of you know, we have had to make a change in our winter travel plans. We are staying in Livingston, Tx area for at least 30- 90 days, as Judy has a new primary care physician,Dr Bui, we are have been impressed with his patient care attitude and thoughtfulness in having things accomplished in a timely manor. Dr Bui also recommended Dr. Sunkavally as her pain management doctor. another good choice as far as we are concern.. Last week Judy had a MRI done for Dr. Sunkavally, he wants to get an idea of what is causing her primary pain, other than the knees. We have an appointment this coming Monday to review them.

Dr DeLoach is the Orthopedic Surgeon that is taking care of the knees, he took more x-rays last week and decided that he wants to try arthroscopic surgery on her left knee 1st ( probably happening in the next 3 weeks) then maybe look at the right one.

Dr. Bui also recommended that Judy see a cardiac specialist,,, she had some chest pains while we were in Coffeyville, which triggered her being in the hospital there during Oct'10. While there she developed pneumonia and then MRSA set in, causing her to be in isolation for 10 days.

John has been busy raking the leaves in the R&L Ranch, carried out 24 wheelbarrows full this week and still has the back 40 to do. We have also had to make a trip to Houston on Thursday, returned some internet equipment.. While we were in Houston, we checked out Sears to find a replacement TV for the main one in the front of the MH..( it had flat-lined on Wednesday night,,, no picture ).
GOD provided again for us!!! as we saw a flat screen set that would fit into the space allotted, it was on sale and since it was the last one in the area they gave us another 10% off. THANK YOU JESUS.

Some of you know that we are members of the ESCAPEES RV CLUB, On Dec 22,2010 one of the co-founders Joe Peterson, past away, His wife Kay and family were in attendance on Saturday here at Rainbow Ends for a Celebration of Joe's life... please pray for the Peterson family and all of the staff of Escapees as they go through this time of mourning. John was one of around 400 people gathered at the activities center for the service.

We are looking at ALL of our possibilities for this summer and seeking Gods guidance on where/what we should do. ASKING for Prayers here.

As things slow down here we will try to get into our picture archives and share some of the sights and events that we have experienced in the last 4 years of being on the road..

May God continue to Bless each of you
and feel the hugs from us.

The Longs-On the road for Christ,, John and Judy
and those Traveling Cats...Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm.
