Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Taking a Sabbatical---Temporarily!
Permalink  

hmmStill suffering with shortness of breath; angina and fatigue even though I exercise by biking and walking twice a day for about 1/2 hr total. I am not leaving the RV living as I'm nestled down in Lebanon, Tn. where I hope to get healthcare from the VA, most vets in the RV Park use them and are well-satisfied with them.

  The owner seems to have taken a liking to me and has negotiated to letting me stay here. I will receive my earl SS starting in August. After a year from the heart attack; I guess my health isn't going to improve much better and i have to accept the fact that I'm not a young buck anymore. cry Life goes on and I will follow along as the Good Lord Wills! 

  This is Easter Week and it will give me time to reflect and maybe come up with some ideas for the next chapter of my life!!

Needed to provide a little update to all my familey here. PIEERE

Ed old buddy !!!!!

I have finally started turning the wheels on the coach but am in the same boat......I'm a little leery at this point about journeying to far from the doctors but the flea markets are opening up here so Im venturing out.

I have Med.Appt. one the 7th & 10th and then dont have to be back till June if all go well..........I will head your way maybe one of these little things I do can help you out in the Venture area. (I can use the Competition)

Get Well my Friend.....Prayers from the Circle

Pierre,

You can be sure that my thoughts and prayers are with you.  As the others have said, don't be shy about chiming back in on occasion.  If nothing else, keep in touch so we can all keep up with both Mike and Nightsky.  We welcome your comments and insight.

Terry

Pierre,
Please don't leave the forum, stay with us with your wonderful attitude! It's heartbreaking that you struggle so to keep going. Sending love and hugs from us both.

Pieere,
It is alright to take a break from rv travel but stick around here. You have a lot to offer a group like this. Your time on the road, work camping experience, and your time spent with the VA and health care system can be very helpful.
I still cannot believe what has happened to some of us here. Our big plan for the "dream" has taken us down a road that we never thought we would be taking.
I also still have shortness of breath and don't think it is going away any time soon. I have been hospitalized twice since the end of last year. Two blood transfusions(5 units total) and a battery of tests. See? You are not alone! I exercise daily(even when it takes all I have to get out there) We must continue to fight the fight.
Be good to yourself and check in when you can.

confuseconfuse I'm not going to give up on this forum; there are too many of you great people who have been so supportive of me and others. I pray someday and it would be great if we could all get-together for a week and maybe that wouldn't be long enough to share coffee and time.
I know for a fact I'm not the only one with health problems; even though it feels that way some times. I believe most of you remember this song: "I get by with a little help from my friends; I will try with a little help from my friend." I changed it to a "lot" of help from my forum family friends!!!
My old 1982 Honda 50cc has been a blessing when I get too tired to ride the bike. I put a milk crate basket on the back carrier and use it to ride the campground and pick up trash. That gives me about four hours a week to add to the exercise.

I want to thank everyone for responding to my rants about health problems! It sure beats talking about the political front though. biggrinbiggrin LOL! PIEERE
