Stu & Tippy's Travels

This Blog will be used to document the travels of Stuart and Tippy Reid as we travel this beautiful country in our motorhome. We will hopefully be able to share our experiences in words and pictures and allow our friends and family to enjoy them with us.

Ready to depart las Vegas

We have just about done all of the damage we can do here in the Las Vegas area so we will depart tomorrow for Ely and then points north where it is a bit cooler, like 20+ degrees. Tippy had her MRI yesterday and we should receive the results today. She has her last PT this morning and will try to get a prescription to continue the PT in McCall, as that has really helped her. I have to see the cardiologist this afternoon and we will be having dinner with friends this evening. We will try to get out of town tomorrow after the morning rush hour and maybe get to Ely in time to play golf.

I have posted some pictures from our family get together on Sunday so enjoy them, be safe, and tune in for an update by the time we get to Boise, ID on Sunday.

Still in Las Vegas

We are still in Las Vegas getting things done medically, seeing family and friends, and doing some shopping when the heat permits. We attended Jackie and Jerry's 50th wedding anniversary party last evening and it was spectacular! All of their families were there and a good time was had by all. We will spend the afternoon today with our family and will get to meet Owen, my niece Nicole's new son.

Tippy and I have both been to the doctor. My blood work all came back positive and my cholestrol is now down to 136. I do need to get the good HDL's up a bit with some exercise but the Dr. said I am in great health. I will see a cardiologist on Wednesday for a preventative exam and stress test. Tippy is still waiting to hear about her MRI but is attending physical therepy every day to help her back. The back is actually pretty good now but the pain down her leg continues to trouble her.

I will try to post some pictures from the family get together tomorrow so until then be safe.
