A delight to read your work and also to learn about Rving.
There is, or was as I haven't heard of him lately, a guy called Chuck Woodbury who published a newspaper, OUTWEST. He traveled everywhere in an RV and wrote about the characters he met along the way. I think he lived in Grass Valley, Calif. when he wasn't traveling. Reading about RVing on your website reminded me of him and now I am envious of both of you. I'm not published yet (prepublished?),but I will be soon and when it happens it will be much to my wife's relief because she won't have to keep making excuses as to why I'm always sitting at the computer. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this, we have been looking for some help as my husbands disease gets worse, we look for answers to show the doctors. Unfortunately there are other people just as unfortunate as us and are in just as much pain and anxiety as we are. This disease needs to be taken more serious as it is very debillitating and also takes away not only the sick ones way of life but close family members as well. Please keep up the good work

I lost my brother to (what the doctors called Wagners Desease) but in my research I believe it was another form of vasculitis. He had small painful blood blisters that would form and fall off, leaving nothing there. They appeared on his hands and in his mouth. He had a bowel obstruction and gangrene set in. The doctors operated 3 times in 1 night removing over 7 feet of his intestines along with cutting a big hole in his bottom. He was also put on dialisis. He suffered greatly for months and was not allowed to eat or drink anything. I am still botherd with the amount of suffering he did before he passed away.

I had to check your site out becuase I have been talking to Chris and he seems so interesting. My wife Cindy and I long for the day to travel like you have but we have more time to put in before retirement. We have spent this week next to you in one of the nicest parks we have ever been in. We stayed in Arlington at Treetops the week before because I am training in Dallas. We have one more week here then we go there for another week. It is our first time in Texas. I don't read many books but I might just have to read yours do to curiosity. It sounds very interesting. This is a nice web site too.

Good luck in your adventures!

Sincerely,
Frank & Cindy Bauerla

My mother died of this disease on 23rd June 1964, when I was 22yrs old.She started with polyps in her ears which when operated on left her totally deafin the January.

Hello,

I'm a sister of a WG. She is currently suffering from painful lesions on her arms and hands. She was diagnosed in 89'. She is also very dependent on pain medication. I'm very worried that she will drive while she is taking this medication and will hurt herself or other drivers. She is severly depressed and will soon retire as a hair dresser. The long days of standing on her feet are over. It is very painful for her.

We keep threatening to trade it in for a small hard shell with an on-board bath and shower but don't use the one we have very much so wonder if it is worth it.

My husband retired two years ago for health reasons. I am self-employed as a freelance writer and regional correspondent for a daily newspaper. I haven't been doing much since the end of Jan. though. My gallbladder started acting up and by the end of April it was in high gear. Surgery June 1 and I'm still recovering. Funny thing. Discovered I'm not 28 anymore and 58 doesn't recover like 28 did. Bumm--air.

He was in remission of Wegners for 2 weeks but not now. He is really a fighter. He was shot down in vietnam where he was a helicopter pilot and in 1978 caught on fire at work and spent 31 days in a burn center and now this. Eacgh day is a new page in our lives and each page adds up to chapters. I,m not a writer but have been trying to write about him and his disease. Thanks for letting me blow off a little steam.

Your site is interesting and perhaps I was meant to come here to get inspiration to put pen to paper, something i have wanted to do and something others have told me to do for years. I have also travelled across the US in an RV, although not as nice as yours. Great experience. Good luck in your endeavors and a prayer for your family member...

Was absolutely thrilled to see that you had a webpage now. I saw it mentioned in an SMFS post. I haven't been writing much there. The tenor of the place has changed some, but I do read the posts by digests. Sometimes that's a mammoth task, as you probably know. I will click back to your site and see if your book is indeed out, if so, I'll order it or order when it is out.

I'm happy for you and best to you.

BTW, I'm going to click on to the tinnitus site--have it, don't you know. The vissitudes of growing old (don't know if that's spelled right).

Take care,

Pat

Good looking site. Green is my favorite color. It means
life and vitality. It also is the color of most vegetables
which I don't like, but that's okay. I can mix broccoli
with beans or noodles and never even taste it.

The reason I'm talking silly is because I want to make my very good friend Ant Jan smile. She should be smiling because she is an excellent writer whose time has come.
I loved Sara's Search and can't wait for the next one.

As for the site, Ant Jan, the only thing wrong with it is you don't mention my name anywhere.
