ADVENTURES, CHALLENGES, AND INSIGHTS OF A COUPLE IN EARLY RETIREMENT
It turns out that there are lots of things to do in the Phoenix area. While we were there we made a short trip to Las Vegas, I went to Tucson, and in Phoenix there are always friends and relatives to see.
Even though we went to Scottsdale so Diana could have surgery, how long can you just sit around? Needless to say, we didn’t. We saw a NASCAR race, Marcia Ball, and the Phoenix Symphony.
Phoenix is more than just a place to have surgery and recuperate. There are lots of things going on in town in the spring, namely spring training, so we were looking forward to catching a few while staying in the Phoenix area.
After we arrived in Phoenix at the beginning of February, it occurred to me that we would be in town for the Super Bowl and all of the hoopla. In addition, I discovered a huge golf tournament within walking distance of our apartment. Lucky me!
My life journey has included quite a few skiing injuries, a back fusion, a life-changing broken leg, and extensive arthritis. Things were ok in my right knee for a while but arthritis developed very rapidly, last fall I could no longer climb stairs. Not ok. It was definitely time to get it fixed.
