Best laid plans
Per the schedule we are in Stauton Virginia this week. A full schedule of visiting National parks, monuments and historic locations. Alas we are not there.
Tomorrow brings a visit to cardiologist to be outfitted with monitor. Will wear it for a day or so to monitor heart. Thursday brings optomologist for the eye check. Not traveling provides time to review past travels. Mary came across this card we picked up in Charleston SC at Hyman's seafood. Enjoy a bit of humor as we take a look back to 2015.

Not per the plan
If I look at my calendar it shows we left the valley on Sunday, May 3rd. Today we should be in Nashville with a full schedule having arrived yesterday. How did it go so wrong...
Of course the main culprit is the shutdown due to Covid19 pandemic. Places we were going are closed per state orders. Darn, was so looking forward to the trip...
Then just for good measure and really screw things up my body decided to attack itself. They tell me I had a ischemic stroke that affected the left side of my body. No major or lasting damage at this point. I continue to have strange sensations in arm and lips. My vision has changed and I have appointment with optomologist next week. While in hospital had no problems other than numbness in arm. The last several days have had bad dizzy spells and nausea. Drug caused or something more sinister? Creates fear/concern in your thoughts. Today brings appointment with cardiologist and tomorrow follow up with primary care physician. Probably will add neurologist to the mix. A lot of of time waiting for doctors. Not how we had planned to spend summer.
