First time

This must be the third day (I fell on Thursday afternoon) and I feel worse than ever. The only halfway comfortable position is standing, and I sure can't stand all day. Will this ever get better?

On a much nicer note, I am posting some pictures taken by Tim, Snowbird West's roadrunner-whisperer.





My body may have been hurting but I was in a great frame of mind, so I asked Dave if he would like to go with me to Wickenburg. I needed a couple of things and didn't want to go all the way to Buckeye, with its traffic. What a pleasant drive it was! My first time driving the truck with the camper mounted, and it was just like driving the truck alone. No problems whatsoever, and the side mirrors gave me a good view of the road behind me.

There was barely any sway, except maybe for a bit of uneven roadway. All in all I can say I love it! I got a surprise when I brought my groceries out to put into the fridge - after all my experience with a 5ver and packing for the drive, I completely forgot about securing anything. Surprisingly, there wasn't much movement - just in a few items - and nothing breakable. I think I left in too much of a hurry to think about giving the inside a check out. I am definitely going to be a happy camper!

  4. You look right at home with your truck and camper. I am so glad it wasn't hard to drive. What fun you are going to have. I love the roadrunner pics. They are such neat birds but they move soooo fast. I'm sure hoping tomorrow you feel a lot better and not so sore.

  9. You & your new RV set up are looking mighty cozy together:)) Sooooo glad that has finally all come together for you. That is a big corner turned & you can now get on with your future travel plans. Maybe not as much room as your fiver but it's sure got to be a whole lot better than dragging a a great big trailer all over the place. I sure know what that is all about!! Good stuff Gypsy so let's get out there on those big open roads & boogey:))

  10. Amen to all the above. You can be quite comfortable in that camper, you and your big old dog! Just watch your step as you climb over her!

  11. If your pain doesn't get markedly better soon, I would visit the doc again. Soft tissue injuries do not show on an x-ray. And sometimes breaks can hide, but will show up several days later on x-ray. Hope you feel better soon!
