milestones

I had a very severe stroke just before thanksgiving 2016. i survived, obviously, but the road to recovery is a long one. Today, for the first time since the stroke(7 months), I went out to my van and began cleaning it in anticipation of hitting the road again. My brother helped a lot, putting the backpacker back on the hitch and moving a bunch of stuff back onto it.. he also pulled out my d/c freezer, hosed it out and put it back,with the top opened.to dry out, but only after he brought out the shop vac and vacuumed at least 4 dogs worth of hair from the front section of the van. I found a bunch of things I wanted, a necklace I had intended to give to my granddaughter, a tablet I was told multiple times ''wasn't there'', the dogs tennis ball thrower... important stuff! We also spoke some about the things I wanted done inside the van and mechanical stuff that needs doing. good to have family willing to help. I forgot to look for my external hard drive, I have hundreds of pics on it and was going to start documenting some of my travels. Till next time, safe travels friends!
