Waiting

We are currently waiting.
1. For Mandy to have her baby. They're checking half week by half week, monitoring it's progression. They had some good news, that the baby is not growing as fast, but news changes at every visit.
2. Also we're waiting to figure my hospital visits out. I was in and out. As soon as they stabilize me, they let me out, without going to find the root of the cause. Last week end I was back in as the pain was so great and they stabilized me with morphine and sent me out at midnight. I explained I had to be back by 8 am for a scope, but that didn't matter. I made them leave the i v tap in as they have trouble finding veins and dig around in there. At the scope they were happy with my idea. The surgeon said the scope was negative and that's a good thing. We don't want him to find any problem there. But that leaves us at square one.

As these pictures show, we are staying in the yard (acreage) of our friends, Art and Margaret. Carol went to school with Margaret and they were (rural) neighbours. When I first met Carol, she was walking home from school with Margaret (grade 9). We are grateful to have friends to help out.

Also we celebrated Lexi's 3rd birthday party. Now we have 3 grandkids 3 years old.

Talk about change of plans. I've been having stomach pain for a while. In Whitehorse, Montana and here. So Carol took me to emerg when I could not eat and doubled over in pain and they're trying to get to the bottom of it. The xray showed a hiatus hernia and the cat scan showed a gall stone. Then they did an ultrsound to confirm. They let me out for a few days and then I have an appointment with a surgeon. They plan on taking my gall bladder out and leaving the hernia for now. I'll know more tomorrow. At least I have high speed internet in my bed at the hospital. With the morphine shots I didn't need high speed internet. Good ole Canadian medical system. We have coverage but they drag it out as long as they can.
