We left Jody & Renato's place September 26, we braved the Atlanta traffic taking the east side bypass which saved 2 hours and 100 miles if we were to take back roads to avoid Atlanta. It wasn't bad at all, much better than the direct route through downtown. Due to the 2 hours saved and gaining another hour entering the Central Time Zone we decided to push all the way to Gulf Shores rather than stop overnight half way. Seven hours and 396 miles later we arrived at Gulf Breeze RV Resort.
And what was the first thing we did the next day, AFTER breakfast at Krystal's....Judy got to do laundry. She's outside relaxing below.
We also made a fast pass by the beach.
And that was the end of Judy's fun! She had an appointment with Dr Roberts Monday morning (10/2) to schedule a knee replacement. After breakfast and checking out the beach one of the hips that was replaced 4 years ago is causing her lots of trouble. She's been down (in bed or her recliner) and popping pain pills so when we visited the Dr (using her walker) he focused on her hip. He gave her a shot and scheduled two tests at the hospital next week to diagnosis the problem. He also gave her a new stronger pain pill prescription. We'll return 10/19 to Dr Roberts to see what he plans. Meanwhile Judy is bored silly staying inside not being able to do the active things she's use to. And she hurts.
In the meantime tropical storm or hurricane Nate will arrive tomorrow (10/7) night. We will close up the HitchHiker by bringing the slides in, fill all the tanks for weight down low, disconnect the water & sewer tomorrow and go next door to the Staybridge Suites motel which is hurricane resistant. We aren't concerned about the water surge or 6" of rain but the winds are currently forecast to be 65 to 70 mph and Nate's forecast to hit land just west of us as a category 1 hurricane. Tomorrows forecast should be more accurate. We plan to return to our home Sunday after it's past us. Stay tuned for updates!
