Another week has passed on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. The weather has generally been fine, but we did get a snow shower on Thursday. It melted on Friday. We've been getting out for walks, and I've topped out at 2.2km now—progress! I think that my leg is a bit better. I was to the walk-in clinic on Monday. The doctor here was about as encouraging as the specialist in Regina, i.e. not! I have an appointment with my own doctor next week; I hope she will have some better ideas of how to improve the situation. The markets have remained troubled all month so far; investors can't handle uncertainty, and the new American administration just bubbles uncertainty. With the failure of their healthcare bill on Friday, I can only hope that folks have settled down before Monday. Anyway, I had a good week as my bus company had a good earnings report and made some nice gains. The busy sports calendar has been playing out. Pittsburgh has secured a playoff berth, and Edmonton remains near the top of their division in the NHL. In Women's World Curling, Rachel Homan has secured a spot in the Gold Medal game where they'll play Russia tomorrow evening in China—sometime overnight here! Good thing we have PVR! March Madness continues in basketball with the Final Four being determined this weekend. My Jayhawks made it to the Elite Eight, but put up a rough effort tonight and fell to Oregon. Rock Chalk is retired until next year!
Erica has completed 3 weeks of CDT. She has an appointment for a fitting of compression hose next Thursday. So, she has to keep wrapping her legs until the compression hose arrives. She did it by herself once last week and, including a rest period from one leg to the next, it took 2 hours to remove, wind and wrap again—Ufda! Eric returned home on Tuesday. His Dad is still in hospital. On the return trip, Eric's shoulder seized up and he's been struggling with the pain ever since. Haaken has posted some videos. He won't tell us where. But it's out there—somewhere. Liam has been practising with his worship team! The Baileys are looking forward to having him home to show off his drumming skills.
Erin and Kristian have had a full week. Erin has been called for jury duty, but she's fighting that. There are strong emotions with the passing of Shawn's mother early Tuesday morning. Kristian had a good review of developments with his eyes at his doctor appointment. He will continue with medication until his next appointment in another four months. Kristian had league bowling again this morning, but that's the end of regular league play, so he's into the playoffs now for the next two Saturdays.
Trav & Joanna remain fairly busy. This weekend they have the photographic assignment for the Montreal Canadien Oldtimers visit to Thunder Bay. Down in the office the printer keeps chugging stuff out. They had an issue with the new dishwasher, but Trav was able to Youtube his way out of that!
And that's about enough for this week.
