THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES!! But not before overcoming a huge obstacle. What started out like an average day back in March, ended with Ross at Mayo and diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. With his deep faith, great attitude and a boatload (couldn’t resist) of medications, he endured six weeks of chemo and radiation.
Here he is with the staff from the radiation clinic he claims, “make him glow in the dark”. Patients ring this bell after their final treatment. They are laughing because just as I took the photo Ross said, “Wait! I need to comb my hair.”
So with his doctor’s approval, the Loop was once again a go. All we had to do was get to Milwaukee where the ODDYSEA had spent the winter. A one-way airline ticket or car rental was crazy expensive. Ross found an online special with a Greyhound express bus to Milwaukee for 28 bucks! Have to admit I was a bit skeptical. But our good friend Mark Ward dropped us at the Minneapolis bus depot early one morning and it turned out to be a good way to travel. Comfy seats and we snoozed most of the way.
It was a long day and we were tired. The boat is dirty inside and out and the cupboards are bare. But it sure feels good to be back.
Hi you guys, this is the first time on the blog.
ReplyDeleteBoy have I missed a special treat. Going to start from the beginning and I'm sure will enjoy every minute.
I was looking forward to the extra day of vacation, Memorial Day, but even more so knowing you guys would be finished with treatment.
The boat looks gorgeous, enjoy it all.
Nancy, enjoy your Birthday-coming up soon.
Take care, Love Jane
