WE HAD TO CANCEL

We figured a two week postponement would be enough, but it wasn't.  As for me, I'm better, but Cathie hasn't seen much improvement.  She is still very congested with a deep cough and now congestion in her head.  Because of this she is very weak and has trouble breathing with any simi-heavy activity, such as walking.

So I've cancelled our flight and all our reservations.  Now we'll find out if our trip insurance is any good.  Soon we will start planning for next year, as we're gonna do this.  Next year there will be no visits to the emergency room anywhere close to our departure time.  And I was really looking forward to not hearing anything about the election for two months.

But not wanting to sit still for too long, as soon as Cathie is up to it, we'll hook up the RV and head out.  I'll put this blog to rest for awhile, but as usual you will be able to follow along on Gassaways Adventures.   Till then......

A POSTPONEMENT

That's right we had to postpone.  This past Monday, Cathie was returning from the desert when she called me and told me she was in extreme pain, was throwing up and couldn't drive the rest of the way home.  So son Eric and I came to the rescue.  From what she was describing, we both figured she had a kidney stone, so off the the emergency room.  Turns out our diagnosis was correct and after spending 8 hours in the emergency room, the stone had migrated to her bladder and they sent her home.

NOW THAT'S A STONE!

But that's not all.  We spent 8 hours in the emergency room, 3 of which was in the waiting room with the rest of the sickies.  We both were exposed to just about every disease known to man and by Friday we were both hacking and coughing like the rest of those folks back at the E/R.  So off the the doctor who supplied us with the usual medications and sent us home to recuperate. We hoped that by morning we would be on the mend and would be able to leave the following evening.  It was not to be and we decided to postpone Our Camino by two weeks.

What a pain in the a$$ changing our flights, reservations in Madrid, train tickets and more.  We lost our B&B in Madrid but have managed to change everything else, we hope.  We had to pay a bunch more to change our flights, but luckily we have trip insurance.
