Now to begin to clear up the mystery I recently introduced:
Where did we go?
South - to get a break from increasing symptoms mid-winter...
... and find some sunshine, ocean breezes...
... and warmth.
100 degrees (Fahrenheit) warmer than home, to be precise.
We even searched for shade some days!
Where was this to be found?
On the Atlantic coast of Florida for a couple of weeks, at our doctor's suggestion. That wasn't a hard "pill" to want to swallow, though it took several years to become even a possibility.
Even now when the way was opened and our strength increasing, we simply didn't know if all the extra work and stress would be outweighed by the benefits. Since each day at home is challenging enough, it could hardly be otherwise when spending days on the road, fitting four adults into a camper that is "perfect for two," and keeping up with grocery shopping and cooking for our special diets without all the fridge and freezer space that help us save much time and energy at home.
So, was it worth it??
Yes! It was a huge, perfectly timed gift from our loving Father in Heaven as well as our amazingly caring and generous earthly parents. We are still seeing the benefits in little ways back at home. But more about that later...
