Health Update: Tough Decision? Drive or Fly Back to "Home Hospital"?"
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Do we drive the Rv back to Florida or do we fly back and someone else drive it back? Stay in hotel? Stay in Portland, Oregon? Go 3,000 miles back to Florida for UF Health Shands hospital?
Diagnosis? Surgery? Has he lost even more weight?
What did FMCA say?
What did we decide? It was a tough decision we had to make fast
Our Travel Vlog series is put on hold until we get through this medical crisis.

My wife and I are in Gainesville, Fl as we speak. Our grandson was born early at 29 weeks. We are in Santa Fe RV Resort, about 9 miles from Shands. We will be here for next 6-8 weeks or so. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know. We have a 2023 F350 Diesel so can move your RV or drive your rig for you, help with rides or whatever. Just let us know.
Let me know if you need anything Matt if they reach out to you.
@@silverblue233131 Hope all the best for your grandson and your family.
And thanks for the offer. 🤗
Alice
@@johnmacias971 really appreciate you both 🤗
Alice
Another reason why there should always be a second person who is able to drive the rig, set up, break camp, etc. , especially with us older folks. Yes, heading home is what you need to do. Wish someone in your family could fly out to you guys and help with the drive home. Prayers!
Karin, I explained this in a video the first medical emergency he had - even if I knew how, I’m so stressed, I wouldn’t feel safe doing it. Larry would be asleep while I drove and of no help.
This way, I’m constantly assisting. Larry only concentrates on driving.
Every one is different and won’t know how they will respond until it happens.
Others? Yes. Share driving.
Yes. Another driver would be great. But Larry prefers taking care of it himself
Alice
@@DownsizingMakesCents, did not mean to stress you out at all, sorry!! But the issue is part of the thought process for buying our next RV as we have health issues as well and I want to be able to feel comfortable with driving the rig. So please do not take it personally! Praying you guys make it home safe and as fast as Larrys health allows!!
I think this is the best decision for you, nothing like being home and with your own health care team and family. It will reduce the additional unnecessary stress. Get better soon Larry.
@@rvnut1133 Exactly. Thanks for understanding 🤗
Alice
Hope this helps with the unexpected Larry expenses. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. All the Best, Nick & Peggy
@@AWOLlcdrpeterson Nick & Peggy, I saw this and was so shocked. I showed Larry. We don’t know what to say.
Perfect timing - it will cover Scruffy’s emergency vet bill
Please email me 🤗

Getting back to your home hospital where you have confidence in your care is a smart decision. You'll have family support to help get through whatever is ahead of you. I'm praying you get there with no issues,that you settle answers and care you need so that healing comes quickly and your back on the road. I do agree that sharing your story is a good thing!
Sorry for late reply.
We are now in Florida 😃
You're making the best decision you can with the information you have right now. Hopefully your trip back home will be quick and uneventful!
@@glendalab7567 Glenda, so far so good. Driving through Missouri now 🤗
Alice
Praying for you all! Have a safe, quick, easy trip back to Florida! Hope the home hospital doctors help Larry ASAP!
Thank you for taking the time to update us even with all this stress and craziness.
We have gone through a lot. But sharing actually helps. It’s almost a catharsis 😉
Plus, we are always thinking of ways to help other RVers
Thank you 🤗
Alice
Wishing both of you the best. Only you know what's right for you. Dont be afraid to ask for help. It was good to see Larry smile and still have a sense of humor.
@@g-man2045 Having made a decision and on our way to Florida has helped.
And thanks 🤗
Alice
Home hospital is best. ASAP! You are blessed to have offers of help. Good folks will step up and be there for you when needed. You could even get part way home & find a good place to park your rig temporarily, then fly home. Health is paramount & sometimes time sensitive. Go with care & blessings.
@@myrnaedelen8385 Myrna,
We do know we could get help if we need it. 🤗
Alice
I was waiting for this video. I assumed you would still be in Portland and I would offer to come up and drive you at least to Denver where another of your loving fans could take over and I could fly back home. I'm sure you have enough qualified friends that could do a relay to Florida.. Good luck DMC
@@SevenBears1 Sorry. Looking forward to meeting you. Maybe next summer 🤗
Alice
@@DownsizingMakesCents I knew your CAAT was bringing you out west so I hoped for a meet and greet. Next time when Larry is back to 100% we'll have lunch
Interesting update. I hope you have more success in Gainesville. On the flip side when I’m there for chemo on Mondays I can swing by and say hello 😂
@@BrazenBrits Thanks. Hope all goes well. UF Vet will take good care of your fur baby.
And definitely would love to see our friends from across the pond

Yes, give it a try. You need to fell comfortable with your situation. Do want you want. And yes, YOUR bed is your comfort zone. You the man Larry,
@@timf6916 Tim,
Thanks for “getting it” 🤗
Alice
Offer still stands! We're in Farmersville, Texas off of US HWY 380 so if you need an overnight stop, we have a long flat concrete driveway and a 50amp rv plug if that helps.
@@kevinherm3036 Appreciate it but our route didn’t go through Texas. Maybe next summer 😉
Alice
We appreciate that you are taking the time to update us. Make sure to ask for help if you need it. Alice put your foot down if you feel you need help. Stay strong.
@@andreemorel2248 Andree, Larry even sick has a strong will, but if we need it, I will definitely ask for help. Thanks
Alice
Thank you for sharing so much of your journey with us. Praying for safe travels and arrival at your home hospital. Stay positive! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🌷
🤗
Praying for safe travels. We settled in Chiefland Florida after finding Orthopedic institute to fix my back problems.
We know Chiefland well. Hope you are doing better 🤗
Alice
I'm sure right now is not the time due to all the stress but maybe Alice could take the wheel between rest areas in the rural parts of the interstate. She would only need to get on and off the interstate without dealing with a lot of traffic. Once we get another rig, I will be relearning to drive again. It's kind of scary to think to do it but if Alice can be married to Larry, she can tackle anything! Larry... you are wonderful too.
Funny. You would think so dealing with Larry 😆
But all my strength is used for helping Larry - none left for driving.
I was so stressed just driving the dually.
Maybe once we have a homebase, we will get a small drivable since we won’t be full time
Alice
Get well soon Larry! I hope everything works out for you two.
@@kcwerv unfortunately, it’s become more complicated
Update on our community tab
Alice
@@DownsizingMakesCents I am so sorry to hear that!
I’m disappointed in Oregons health. The doctors in Portland diagnosed my son’s wife that she would never be able to have children after her accident, period. She has three kids since
@@TheBuddy1939 a time you are glad hospital was wrong. Happy for you but sorry she went through initial bad news
Alice
be safe your in our prayers we have had crazy health issues while full timing and have recovered in our rv it can be done speedy recovery
@@allanwarmflash4440 Thanks, Allan. We have a very private spot in Florida so we can all recover 🤗
Alice
Prayers for your travels. I understand Alice’s anxiety about Portland driving. My husband was DX with pancreatic cancer 12/2023. Our home state at that time was Oregon. He received treatment at OHSU and I would have to drive our stick shift car back and forth from an RV park in Wilsonville. Don’t get me started on driving to appointments on the hill or their parking garages and trying not to roll into people when leaving. 😂 We got great care at OHSU but it has always been our dream to live in Florida. We did get my brother to move our Class A because my husband is too sick to drive. We live in Bushnell, FL at Blueberry Hill RV Park. It is a nice park. It’s right off of 75. I looked and it’s only 1.5 hrs from Gainesville. We drive to Moffitt in Tampa for his care. The rates here are reasonable. I will keep praying for both of you.
@@hrdakerwd wow. I thought driving the dually was bad 😁
Thanks for info.
We have a couple places less than an hour from hospital- closer the better
Alice
I love you both!!
Maybe downsize to something smaller that Alice can drive
@@arlenesterling6782 Arlene, I’d like that. Hard to get the dually aware from Larry 😁
Alice
Hope Larry gets better soon.
Will take some time to get surgery -
Thank you
Alice
We live in St Louis near I-70. We are on your route home. If you need anything like a place to stay we can help. If you want to fly home I could help get your rig in storage near here. I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time.
@@dougdoris8622 Hey, guys. Like to see how close you are route. We had a bad long day because we couldn’t find a place to stop.

Awesome offer hope things work out D&D Your Amazing
I just found your channel!! I love you guys. ❤ It's been a joy watching your trip from Portland to Gainesville, FL. I'm so sorry your baby got attacked! I'm going to add you to my prayer journal, praying for wisdom for the Dr's and peace for you both. Thank you for sharing your life with me ❤❤❤

Thanks so much. Update posts on our Community tab. 🤗

Wishing you safe travels back to FL. Had a medical emergency 2+ years ago. Always a tough question: go where you are or back back to what you know.
@@karinhart489 Karin, it was tough. But we made the right call for us.
Larry already sees his primary dr on Monday

Time Frame They Were Talking Didn’t Make Cents I Gotta Go Good For You! Happy & Safe Travels! All the Best & Stay Blessed.
@@chhook949 Yes. Weeks. Months. Crazy.
In Georgia. 🌴 tomorrow 🤗
Alice
as we age this is the very thing we worried about when we decided to downsize our rig. it was vital to us that both of us could completely handle the rv in the case one of us gets ill or out of commission. i am glad everything worked out but, in our opinion, its essential that both of you need to have confidence and the ability to handle the rig.
@@casitacindy461 Casita, I understand
But until we get a homebase, we don’t want to go smaller.
Plus, with my anxiety, I wouldn’t want to tow. Maybe one day we will get a drivable.
Until it happens to you, you don’t really know how you will handle it
Thanks for sharing your opinion
Alice
This is absolutely important. One of the biggest questions out there is - What do you do in a health emergency. You are showing options and explaining your thought processes. Feel better soon!
Stacey, 💯
Even if you don’t agree with our choice, we show the options. Thank you 🙏
Alice
Good decision. Wish you a safe comfortable journey home.
@@01AceAlpha unfortunately, on our way to next stop, Scruffy was attached by 2 big dogs - emergency vet this morning 😔 but she’s ok
Alice
Praying you two have a safe trip home and God provides appropriate medical care back home in Florida.
@@TSchra37 🤗
Safe travels. Keeping you both in our thoughts and prayers.
🤗
Safe travels, thank you for updating your subscribers. Try drinking protein drinks. They do make clear ensure type drinks if that would go down easier.
@@mazie65 Appreciate it, Mazie. Larry is seeing he’s primary on Monday.
Once in Florida, we will try different things and see a nutritionist
Alice
Safe travels and good luck at your hometown doctor.🙏🏻
@@carrolcallahan3402 Carole, hoping for help getting referrals and cutting back though red tape 🤗
Alice
I think you are making the right decision. Having two drivers is not necessary or logical for everyone owning an RV. You will know when to hold them or when to fold them. Stay safe.

You guys are making the correct decision! UF Shands is the place for sure ! I live 32 miles SE of Gainesville . Prayers for your safe return and Larry’s health ! 🙏🙏
Ralph, got some land to sell us 😅
Can’t wait to be “home” again
Alice
@@DownsizingMakesCents
I don’t have any land to sell . But , Is land for sale in my area . I’m actually the farthest north you can get in Marion County. I’m thirty miles from downtown Ocala . Safe travels you guys ! 🙏😁
So glad you guys are heading back to Florida and Larry’s regular doctors and hospital who all know him. It’s still stressful but being somewhere that your more familiar, have family & a hospital & doctors that know you & your health conditions is just a little more of a comfort for both of you. Praying for safe travels on your way back to Florida, that you both do well on the trip and you find a nice safe place to park and stay in your home🙏🏻❤️
Lisa, we appreciate all the support in this decision- thought we would be given a hard time for not flying 😁
Already have an appointment on Monday to see his primary care 🤗

My wife and I are currently campground host at Gold Head Branch State Park. We have plenty of open sites here at the moment. The park is in Keystone Heights about 45 minutes from Shands.
John, we have gone there many times.

Alice
Scary stuff. I knew Larry had issues but didn't realize it was MS - this new diagnosis just adds to his problem. I sure hope things go well on your trip "home" and that Larry gets the care he needs and is on the road to recovery a.s.a.p. Nothing like being in your own bed to help with the healing process.
Ruth,
His MOGAD is a rare form of MS. It’s “controlled” but not curable.
At least this sounds like it’s fixed with surgery.
Thanks so much for checking on us 🤗
Alice
Glad to see that smile Larry! [your truly an inspiration!] Thanks so much guys! #Praying-4-A-blessing!
Mackenzie, you are so sweet.
We just hope other people that travel far from consider this 🤗

@@TilFurtherNotice Thank you so much. We can’t wait to be back
HI Alice, I'm wondering you are comfortable driving the 5th wheel? Praying you have a safe travel back to Florida.
So stressed - I could barely handle long bed crew cab dually I’ve been driving for years.
Better to be copilot and Larry only need to concentrate on driving.
He’d sleep if I was towing and I’d have no help
Praying for you both and for a safe trip to Florida. I think it’s important that you are sharing this experience because any of us could find ourselves in a similar situation. When I think it through I’m pretty certain Jim and I would make the same decision you’ve made. May God bless and keep you.
@@penneemw Thanks for the support. It was a tough decision. 🤗
Alice
Sorry, Portland didn't work out for you. I hope you make it safely back to Florida. Be sure you get plenty of rest. I hope since Florida knows you, you can get help fast. What's wrong, sounds pretty serious. I love watching your videos. Be safe!🥰🙏🙏
Cerita, it is very serious - the weight loss I’m mostly concerned with.
We already have an appointment with his primary in Florida 🤗
Alice
It’s great to see you both and I agree Larry doesn’t look sick but you can definitely tell he’s lost weight. I’ve been praying for you both and glad to know to watch the community tab to stay up to date! Alice, you can drive just take a deep breath and roll along whenever you’re on the road.
Walter, knowing we are going to”home” has really helped Larry’s emotional state
As for me driving? When I’m this worried about Larry - even if I had years driving it like the dually - it’s safer to let Larry drive and take breaks when he needs it 🤗
Alice
I’m sure when you get to Gainesville, they’ll be able to figure out how to fix him. Safe travels. Keep us posted.
@@dogggdad Dale, we are confident we will get great care.
Thanks
Alice
We think that’s what we would try to do if we were in your shoes but like you said only both of you can make that decision. Trust in the Lord guys and we are all praying for healing and a safe trip home❤️
Thanks for understanding- you really don’t know until you are faced with it. 🤗
Alice
Good choice! We'll keep praying for you. Keep going. Get home.
🤗
I fully support your decision. You thought through the options you had and chose tue best for you. I was never happier seeing Larry's smile given the understandle somberness of your last video. May God bless and keep you safe all the way to FL, and may Larry receive the requisite care and healing for both dreaded "m" maladies. Strength and love to you both and to Scruffy. ❤👍🏾🙏🏾
Raoul, appreciate the support of our decision. It’s what right for us.

good you've got it figured out. as far as Larry's tummy goes. sorry about the whole waiting game. it took 6 months from start to finish to get my gallbladder out. boy was that fun. i.e. I feel your pain. I think your doing the right thing. if you can get the docs "back home" on board that's the best way to go. hopefully they will be ready to get to work on him when you get there. safe travels, hug Scruffy and take care.
Wow. 6 months? Hope THAT doesn’t help.
Larry had his gallbladder out over 10 years ago.
And thanks 🤗
Alice
@@DownsizingMakesCents yes it was not fun. the delay was due to back up from covid. and just all the b.s. there from. I had so many covid tests at that time it was crazy. I hope they get Larry in as soon as you are all set up in a park and ready to go. waiting for this stuff is the worst.

Good luck guys! Whatever you decide is the the best decision. I don't blame you for wanting to get back to familiar health care and family. I would probably do the same.

I was thinking could you fly one of your sons out to you to help with the driving. After watching your issues, I have Marie starting to drive the truck with the camper to get familiar with the process. We are learning from your situation. Hang in there.
I’ve told my husband the same thing!
Me too…unfortunately I don’t think it would be safe for me to drive the truck & fiver with my carpal tunnel flare up. I’m getting a cortisone shot in a couple of weeks so if that works I will be able to drive. I can drive just the truck but with a 30’ fifth wheel attached my response is unsure. I’m not afraid & if I had to I’d learn as I’m driving!
@@BikesBoatsBivouacs Scott, our kids are not RVers 😄 but it’s a thought.

@@paticherry5222 Pati, he’s had 4 Ensure clears a day for about two weeks. Can’t tolerate much else.
But thanks

Don’t know which way you are heading but if you need a hospital in the middle of the country, UNMC in Omaha Nebraska is a good choice. If you are going on I 80 you will go through Omaha.
Thanks but we are glad to be heading to his “home” hospital 🤗
Alice
God bless you brother. I’ll be praying for both of you. 👍🏼😎

Safe travels. Continued prayers for both of you. ❤

Alice are you helping with driving? I’m concerned that Larry could pass out while driving from weakness.
@@sued115 Sue, I am a very vigilant and helpful copilot. Thanks for the concern. We would never let it get that bad
Alice
