>glad to hear that all went well
Ditto, Gene.
When I decided to go all in with GMCs and have JimB remake one for me, Dave Silva harrassed me as to my reasons. One, which I put down at the bottom of my list, was 'hospital pod' or somesuch. At the time, I thought I was perhaps overly sensitive to that possible use because, well, sleeping in a lawn chair for a few weeks tends to make one overly sensitive physically. I can't say I've ever noticed a coach dry-camping in a hospital parking lot, so I've been kind of surprised that use has already popped up here in the forums a couple of times. So, yeah, chalk up yet another reason to love your GMC.

The hospital that wife's doctors use, (So that makes it her hospital) has a small RV parking area with water and electric. Free to families of hospitalized "inmates," sure comes in handy.
I am not sure how common this is...

NOTE to Gene & Melissa:
Of all our other friends who have had knee and hip replacement surgery,
those who have followed the Dr's and PT folks instructions to the letter
have had, by far, the best recoveries. Some who have sluffed off or
ignored the docs are still suffering after several years.
Best wishes to you and Melissa.

Gene tell your wife it gets better everyday! My mom had to have both knees replaced.. She has always been a lady on the move. trips to everywhere. After her knees started bothering her she could not go anymore.. Was one sad lady.. after her 2nd knee replacement, the first thing she did was go on a trip up north. And was up and running like nothing ever happend..
Just thought I would share this with you.
But hey even in a hospital parking lot it doesn't get better then a GMC!
