Summer Camping in Review

-
Well, well, well..... Still in disbelief that summer is winding down.  Sad :(

Anywho, I figure I would put down some thoughts about our camping this summer.

  • May ~  We went to Algonac State campground.  Our site was right off the water (and the 55mph road).  Overall it was really nice but the trees were still young and didn't offer much shade.  Here's a  picture of our site. 

  • Another May camping trip was to Logan, West Virginia.  This is an annual family reunion for John's family.  Pretty much we use this instead of taking a hotel since we have Jacob.  Only bad thing is there is no alcohol on the grounds (well, at least as far as they knew! hahah!)

  • June ~ Sleeper State Park.  We had a site in the inner aisle.  If you were alone, that works great but with 2 couples, 2 dogs and an extra camper... well we were cozy! :)  Lots of trees and it wasn't too buggy but the cottonwood was flying like mad.  

  • July ~ We did a group site in Groveland county park.  We never did a county park before so this was a first.  Also, I had my niece, Courtney with us.  For us, it didn't really work out for us.  There wasn't much for us to do with Jacob, everything we had to pay extra for (and I do mean everything including showers), barely any shade.   I guess it would be a different scenario if we knew more folks but it is what it is.  

  • August ~ Our BIG trip.  We take one trip each year and stay for 5 days and find places to off road.  This year we went to Interlochen, MI.  Again, my niece tagged along and tent camped.  Our site was awesome!  Lots of trees!  The off-road trails had lots of monstrous puddles and we came out very wet and dirty!  LOVED IT!  Interlochen also had a store where I bought hoodies for us and they weren't too crazily priced.  
 
 

Our last trip is coming up this weekend.  We are going to Sleepy Hollow State Park.  We are camping with 2 more folks and they are going to the MSU game opener while Stacy and I will enjoy our bonding time with each other and our pups.  I will post on that when I get home.
Overall, a good camping summer!  Starting school on Sept 7th so it's back to work....

    OK here's the poop on the Dermi today.  I saw Dr. Henderson and she is a resident at HF.  I went to see a dermi because of the previous post of my sores on my scalp.   She looked me over and was very concerned with the one I have on top of my scalp.  It's deep and she thought it could turn into a cancerous problem.  I did tell her that is where my previous dermi did the punch biopsy.  Dr. H brought in another dr for a second opinion and that doctor stated that if that wound wasn't closed up by stitches and I have lupus, the wound might not have closed up and healed properly.  So in essence, it made Dr. H feel better that it was the area of the punch biopsy.   So today, as I had a hunch, I was injected with cortisone.  That is something I never will forget but she was a lot better than my previous dermi.  She was gentle and gave me some breaks.  I had injections done to the side areas and my crater on top.  The cortisone ...

    Ah the life of a lupie!  So much fun! A few days ago, I left eye started to hurt and I thought it was just typical crappy weather problem.  That started Wednesday.  Long story short... it puffed out and I had a fever of 101. Not a pretty picture at all.  It was a lot worse than this.  Just hated  how I looked and felt, especially with the holidays coming around and the noise. Anywho, went to the family doctor today and she gave me antibiotics (augmentin) and boy those are HUGE pills!  Plus she recommended a saline flush so why not.  So now I'm home and just wanted to update my blog since I haven't in some time.  I have been writing in my journal of my own personal thoughts but I like to keep my medical stuff on here so I can refer back. Ok, I'm going to lay down and sleep this pain off.
