A Crazy Few Weeks!

Just a few weeks can bring about epic changes. On November 22nd I went in for a prostate biopsy after being diagnosed with prostate cancer back in August during a prostate procedure. To make matters worse, the biopsy took a wrong turn and I was admitted to the hospital the next day with sepsis (blood infection). The next 4 days in the hospital were a real low point for me, but I recovered nicely and also got a real blessing in a clear biopsy report. A miracle in itself!!!

The dark cloud was now removed and so it was time to pack up the bus and hit the road!! It was a rush but we made our break on a snowy December 6th. Got delayed by snow in Cortland, NY but that gave us a chance to see Doug DeRancy while we waited out the snow at the Cortland Perkins. (I recommend the Magnificent Seven breakfast!)

We cleared the snow belt when we hit PA and finally made our destination for the day, the Hollywood Casino in Grantville PA north of Harrisburg. Great parking lot for us to camp out in for free and very quiet. (The casino was filled with walkers, wheelchairs, and cigarette smoke and I smelled like a fresh pack of Luckies when I got back to the bus).

Got the bus stuck in snow!
