January – June 2024

I’ve kept this blog to record what Carey and I have done over time.  I became very lazy and did not keep this up between Jan and Jun 2024.  To catch up I’m going to do a little short hand writing to capture a few of the highlights during this six month time frame.

  • In January we had a quiet month visiting with Jack and Ann and spending lots of time in the sun room with the fire place and staying quiet.
  • In February I had cataract surgery and started to work with the eight marinas in town on some marketing efforts they needed.  Carey was heavily involved in her breast cancer recovery.  At the end of February I fell and collapsed a lung, starting a 3 and 1/2 week stint in Mary Washington hospital.  This was a scary time and I’m lucky to made it through the time.
  • In March and April I did the follow up and recovery from the fall, Carey spent a great deal of time with doctors and the cancer recovery period.
  • In May I was back in hospital for pneumonia and sepsis … a second bad period.  I believe I left MWHC with pneumonia and then sepsis finally caught up with me.  Tappahannock hospital “fixed” me and I came away feeling great.  And I’m getting better.
  • In June we worked on the boat and handled the arrangements for the June Potomac River Festival Boat Parade that I had to cancel due poor weather.
  • That’s a quick summary of Jan thru June 2024.
  • Now I’ll try to get back in the mood to keep up with our schedule.
