[ski3pin]

Do we ever stay home? We sure try not to. Bad things happen when we're at home. Life is better out in the real world. Here's all three parts of a trip to Death Valley last February -

Man you sure are busy with many reports going at the same time.
Thanks.A question,why did the new doc just change your meds?
Wasn't the old meds doing the job?
Really enjoy all the left behind mining equipment left behind.
It all seems to age nicely.

We just got home last night from this trip. What a treat to read your first two parts! It was great to see you both and spend a quality week in the Death Valley back country.

Nope, the medical profession defers to politicians in those regards.

Great trip. So much to see in Death Valley. It really is a different kind of park. And date shakes to boot, we've been there for one - what a treat!

Another great trip report!

RE feeling wimpy after a medical 'event': A friend of mine used to say "It is a great life, once you weaken!"

Bounce back soon. We would not want to be deprived of your trip reports.

Another thing this new doc did was schedule my first tread mill stress test with echocardiogram -
the only reason we returned home from the Death Valley trip. I was concerned to see the results after what the med reaction did to me and also because it was my first stress test. I aced the test, my old ticker is normal. The three women doing and attending the test said men half my age could not do what I did. Starting BP was 130/70, pulse 50, O2 saturation 99%. I say I'm back to 100% and Julie says she'll keep me. Where shall we go next?

Those numbers are great.Keep up the life schedule.
The docs tell us to keep on keeping on at what we do for our daily living.
Good food and exercise. It keeps us in top health even for our geezer age.
