Ralph’s accident at the end of July that resulted in a TBI has taken up a lot of my time lately. I haven’t been able to keep up with other things as thoroughly as I would like. I finally have him seeing a neurologist with the VA in Palo Alto. His CT scans from Sierra Vista are up here now, he had new ones taken on Thursday and Friday, and he is scheduled for a return to the neurology clinic on 11/2. The brain bleed is worse than I was led to believe back in August, but I got him into the VA system for this injury as fast as I could. Because he can’t drive, and I can’t/won’t drive his motorhome, we are now staying in motels and/or hotels for the time being while all of this is sorted out. One of the hotels we have stayed in provides a degree of serenity in the midst of the chaos of the city — a connection with nature I crave. It even has redwood trees. I truly appreciate it at times like this. Bear with me as I navigate this new territory and take you along with me.

oh my goodness, so much more
thank you for all that you do and the humanity you share

Happy to see that you have such lovely and surely much needed peaceful surroundings.
Sending blessings full of healing and love! May you both have everything you don't even know you need!
Loyalty to friends is immeasurable blessings on you and him. I’m assuming someone has stepped up to care for your four leggeds. I would help if I could
We took them with. The hotel has a great dog park.
"... walking each other home..."
Sending a WhiteLight prayer for both of you. Bleeding in the brain sounds extremely dangerous!
What a nice place to stay! Great for dogs and people.... Hope Ralph's recovery goes well.
