Leaving South Florida

Back at the campground we acting as normally as we could. Millie was not in pain, none that she complained about anyhow. We passed the days as we had for two months, I went to the gym every morning, we enjoyed the warm weather and just took life easy. 

Site of new casino


We have been watching the progress of the construction site behind us and have found out it is going to be a casino. I guess we'll have to bring some extra change when we return next winter.



The campground had a Mardi Gras Parade and we participated in that with Maggie riding in her bicycle sidecar. The Canadian snowbirds here are very social and made up most of the parade, some of their costumes were very interesting!



The first of March was our scheduled departure from Southern Comfort Campground and South Florida. We have tickets to see Willie Nelson on Friday and were moving upstate in preparation for the concert. Before leaving we had an early appointment at the the Dermatologist office for the stitch removal.

The nurse took one look at the wound and said they are not ready to come out. They said they would give us the name of an associate in Clermont that we could follow up with. They made no mention of the infection.

Homestead to Wauchula


Our next stop was not in Clermont but in Wauchula. We were here for the Pioneer Days Farm show in nearby Zolfo Springs and to see Willie Nelson at the Plant City Strawberry Festival.

Our stay here in Wauchula was at the Peace River Thousand Trails Campground. Part of our RV timeshare, we stayed here for free, as usual all the full hookup sites were taken. We settled into a nice water/electric site on the lower perimeter of the park.

The day after our arrival we went to a local physician for a second opinion of Millie's wrist. He took one look at it and said he didn't need to do a culture, he was sure she had a bacterial resistance infection (MRSA) He prescribed a stronger antibiotic and told us to come back in a week. 



The Wauchula doctor seemed very competent and we liked him, we left his office with both a fearful apprehension about the MRSA and confidence in this new physician.
