Down in the back
Okay, Okay, what i have been doing that i haven't posted lately. Actually nothing much! It's still hot and humid here. The temps have been in the low 90's with the heat index 98 or above! So I've been staying indoors! I have been reading romance books, in fact i just finished 3 great ones that Judy gave me (thanks Judy) during the extreme hot times of the day and other times I'm out walking & visiting my neighbors. It's amazing how some come and go either as first timers here or those who've been coming to this park for years, or those who have been living here for a year or even years!
There has been some drama in the park lately. In the back corner of the park (which is nicked name the geto) It's not actually, it's just where they like to park the vintage campers that don't look so nicely. Apparently they've had a gentle man that has been living back there for several years. He hadn't been a problem until the past year when a women whom he had an attraction for moved in and wouldn't give him the time of day. Well, he didn't take kindly to her not accepting his advances and started messing with her. The old owners of the park just disregarded her complaints when the manager would inform them of the new complaints and refused to let her move her camper anywhere else because it is a vintage. Well sometime last month new owners took over and when the police had to be called ever night for his actions because it was getting close to violence. He says he accidentally ran his car way back in a camp spot where she had a plastic pool for her dog (choc lab) and ran over her grill, then picked it up and slammed into the back of her truck and beating on other's campers and screaming foul language & backed his car into a friend visiting her truck and blamed her company. The new owners decided that was it. When his rent came up around the 1st of the month they gave him a 30 day notice to leave. Well he decided not to pay his rent and fight the evictions. They finally had to get a court order and he finally pulled out of the park yesterday. The manager was so relieved that he was finally gone. He has been staying up most nights just to keep an eye on the man. Apparently he liked to do his working during the early morning hours when there was no day light. He knew where the camera's where and where they reached. So it's back to being peaceful in the park again. I think all of us campers were a bit concerned and i believe most voiced their opinion when the manager came around and talked to all of us about it.
Let me add that it has been a wonderful place to stay since we've been here and this is the first time there has been any problems in the park and the manager has been great in handling the matter. I would recommend this park to anyone. Reasonable rates for the area and wonderful managers and residents.
Okay now what's been happening with me the past few days .... Ughhhhh ...... I've been under the weather since Saturday night. I had noticed before that when i sat for very long when i was out visiting the neighbor's or just relaxing that i was having shooting pains in my butt and legs. Since i hadn't been down in my back big time much since being in Florida i guess i kinda ignored the warning signs. Well behold Saturday night it was full blown and the horrible pain brought my memory back to reality!
I am having severe back & leg pains, spasm and shooting, stinging, & stabbing pain. I can barely walk to the bathroom and back which as most of you are aware isn't far in a 30' RV! I have basically been bedridden! All I have done is laid on my back or side with my legs as far in the air as i can get them while feeding on pain killers. Yesterday I did manage to get from the bedroom to the couch so i could try to get online a bit, but it didn't last very long. I had to return to bed.
This evening has been better for me, I'm at least able sit up long enough to post to you all. Of course with the added use of pillows to keep me comfortable as I'm not in unbearable pain. I am thinking because i have been walking much more then i have done since my injury/disability that i have over done it? It has been wonderful to actually be able to get out of bed and enjoy my life again. Yes, i suffer with daily pain, but being in the warmer climate has made it to where that pain is much more tolerable and not completely disabling me to where i was basically non functional. I guess because I've had such better days in regards to my pain i had forgotten how bad it can be. I guess my disability had to remind me what happens when i over do and forget why i am staying in warmer climates now.
Well now you have it ... life as a full-timer enjoying what everyday holds and looking forward to what may lie ahead of me for tomorrow. Weather it be trials, sorrows or good times. The wheels roll on .... Have a good one and ya all come back now .......
