Desert Hot Springs

We moved!

19 days in Anza-Borrego State Park.
9 days at Springs of Borrego RV Resort.
A full month in Borrego!

Tonight we are in Desert Hot Springs in an RV park.  It is OK, but we sure don't see the attraction for all the activity here.  Great weather is obvious, but most are here for the winter and golf at the numerous courses.  We came here to be close to Gracie's Vet.  They had space for us to stay 2 weeks or more  but we only signed up for one night so we could test the viability for two or more weeks.  Probably will stay 4 nights total and then move on.  Just not to our liking.  Found an RV park in Indio we had been in for two nights several years ago but can only stay 6 nights and can't get in until Monday. It's a lot nicer than here and only 8 minutes from the Vet Clinic so it's even closer yet. We booked it and that will get us through Gracie's surgery and her release from the Clinic.  From there we will probably "get out of town" and wonder through the desert towards Carpinteria for our 8 day reservation on the Pacific Ocean.  Then we need to come back here for her two week follow-up and stitch removal.

Started Gracie on some good medicine for pain relief last night but she did not react well to it.  It seemed to help as she was getting up and down from the sofa by herself and exibited a lot more interest in everything, but by late afternoon was vomiting.  Called the vet (surgeon) and he told us to stop all medication.  It's good stuff, but not all dogs handle it well.  Safer to let her go without.  But she is doing well tonight.  Sure wish surgury was not still 6 days away!

We'll get through this!

No new pictures.  You've seen all of Borrego Springs I'm sure you want to see.  Nothing here worthwhile from the RV park to share with you.  We'll find some "stuff" of interest in the next few days to post.
