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!!

Hello my friends on RV Dreams, on December 17 2014 with a real sharp pain in my head I passed out in our 5th wheel RV, on the right side of my forehead I had a 2 inch tumor removed it was 90 percent fatal, the doctor said I have had it since I was a little child, I've had headaches since a child, I was paralyzed on my left side, 30 days later when I left the Hospital I was running again, I had to learn to walk, talk, could not tell some colors apart, could not spell, do math had to have Rehabilitation or rehab, Yes the patient lived and after that one, I had to have my left Kidney removed, tumor size was about 3 inches, on this one was 95 percent fatal to be cancer, yes I know I'm blessed I had no cancer, thank the Lord, My head surgeon doctor said I was his Christmas Present, God has blessed me. I will be doing a video on youTube what God has done in my life and about my battery charging system and things we have done to our RV. Because of my head injury they took my drivers licence away for about 1 year, I"m looking at December 2015 this year to get my licence back, I will be crossing my fingers, Arizona here we come, I don"t like Monkey wrenches throne into the game, I"m doing well, God bless

Incredible. So very glad to hear you are on the mend. We're no fans of those monkey wrenches either. We'll be rooting for you and crossing our fingers also come December, that you can get started on your intended adventure.

WOW I am not a healthy person, but compared to what you went through, all of a sudden my problems, like an up coming leg amputation are minor!!

Thanks for posting and reaffirming that life can go on.

Attitudes is everything. You are an inspiration to us all. Lots of tough things have come your way but you still have a positive attitude. I hope and wish only the best for you going forward.

Lonnie,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, so try not to worry about too much and concentrate on healing.  Time will still let you do the RV'ing eventually.

Good luck.

Terry

When I was going through chemo, we had a saying at the clinic as we sat there with the poison dripping in our veins - we just KOKO. Keep On Keeping On - that is the key. Some days getting clean under ware on was the task, somedays a walk around the neighborhood, but just keep on going forward, that's the key.

Best of luck as you work towards your next goal(s).

Barb

WOW, thank you friends, it means a lot to us to hear from such nice kind friends and words. I have learned to humble myself as a child, you guys made me tear up, God told me I have more work for you, I have a story for you, I will tell it on YouTube, When I woke up from my head surgery God had talked to me 2 things he said, I have the largest family in the world and I called my children to help you, the ambulance, the doctor, and the Affordable act care just kick in, it has not cost us nothing number (2) I saw a picture of Jesus he was in full light like the sun and I saw a yellow light down below where his heart is and I looked in the light and I felt his love for me and you, I said WOW to myself, he had more love than any Father could have, no man on earth has that much love, he died for us and I understand that love now, it blew me away, I have told this story to a lot of people they cried, gave me hugs and they had to hold and shake my hand, they have been down a road or a story like mine, it makes me feel good to help people, may God bless you. Lonney.
