Well, this is a story that is only just begun.
DKO decided that since she was going stir crazy, we should take the opportunity to get out of town for a few days, just hit the road and drive somewhere interesting.
So we got the "bruiser" to watch the dog and set off for the White Mountains and Greer.
A gorgeous drive. I really like the whole Oracle, Winkleman, Globe road and crossing the Salt River is always pretty.
We decided to stay at the Greer Lodge, a kind of high-end place, but with the key was a pretty room with a bathtub.
There were some thunderous rumblings before dinner, but we paid them no heed and went to the restaurant adjoining the hotel.
Hardly anybody there, with a wonderful view of the mountains. We had some so-so salads, but a really nice trout and a very nice apple pie à la mode.
Unfortunately, the rumblings increased during dinner and by the end of the meal, DKO beat a hasty retreat to the room.
Here we sit in the room, enjoying a wonderful view, but with dko in high stomach distress. It may be abating, but she's pretty miserable at the moment. At this nanosecond, having left most of her chemo drugs back in Tucson, she just wants to be home.
More anon.

Diane!
I'm having sympathetic stomach distress tonight. It must be bad for you for me to feel it down here in OV!!! :-) Hope it clears up so you can enjoy the rest of your little trip.
You can run but you can't hide--do it again Bro, just remember to pack the drugs. Maybe drive where it's a bit cooler--like L.A.????
Greer lodge is so pretty too - I hope that your tummy will eventually allow you to enjoy it!!
Sounds like a beautiful place to escape to! Hope the tummy calms down soon.
