Visit with the Millers in Camp Verde AZ and oxygen test

[rhmahoney]

Sister Pam, Brian, and I went N to Camp Verde for a short visit with Don & Peg. Lunch at a recently reopened restaurant was quite good. The waitress took a pic, but both of them were blurry.

The excuse for the visit was to test out my need for supplemental oxygen at 4500 ft altitude. I am happy to report that I remained pain free and my oxygen saturation remained normal.

I am now GO for Moab!

Take it slow and easy!  Don't expect to see you here at the Canyon or in Yellowstone, but sure glad to hear 4500' is great.

 

[Tom and Margi]

Happy to hear you could tolerate 4,500 feet.  Have you made summer plans yet?

Russ --  Good to "hear" from you.  Been wondering how you were doing.  Mary Ann and I are looking forward to seeing you at Moab....  Stay well.  Don

 

[PJ Stough]

Glad to see you are out and about and doing well.

It is good to see that you are back on the road again. 

So, do I understand that you will not travel >4500 ft, or is it that you will do so but with supplemental oxygen?

 

[rhmahoney]

I will use oxygen as needed. I-80 over the Rockies will be one such place (8,000+ ft).

After I get to Iowa, I will evaluate how I did. I want to return to Phoenix via Montana and the coast.

 

[Tom and Margi]

The coast (and several miles inland) will be happy to see you!  Hope things work out OK.

I'm sure we will be here whenever you come through.  I haven't even got to see a surgeon yet, one more week till then.  Damn spring break!!!
