Bill is alot better today, but still doesn't want visitors. He has his new date for Royal Columbian February 13. I played Mexician train with my Burnaby group. Lots of fun.

>January 30 Monday 2012
Yes I got my new computer today. London Drugs even transferred all my stuff from the old computer for free. My sciatic nerve on my left leg has settled down thank goodness. Bill isn't doing so well as he still suffers from diareha so he couldn't make his surgeons appointment at the Royal Columbian. We do not know when it is re scheduled. I am baby sitting the twins. Shannon phones to say they are going to Wellington instead of Tonga as the water is too rough. They are working their way to Tahiti for a few months.

will it never end! My computer is not worth fixing. Nothing that $500 won't fix. London drugs has a $800 HP for $500. so I guess I will get that. I haven't been to see Bill for 4 days as his ward still has the Norwalk virus. I got a one day bout of it

January 22 Sunday 2012
Things are looking up now that my family is back home. Bill is in a better mood and is looking forward to his appointment with the sergen January 30. Hopefully she will say he can put more weight on his foot. We can't visit Bill right now as people on his ward have developed the Norwalk virus. Bill is clear so far. Hopefully this dosen't interfer with his visit. I should find out about my computer latter Monday. Keep your fingers crossed I don't have to buy a new one.

Things are going from bad to worst. I go to turn the water on to make coffee-dead. FROZEN Yes even though I put heat coils around the hose it froze. The guys in the park tried to help but I just have to wait until it thaws and the temperature tonight is forecast for -13. I guess I will have to get water from the park washroom or laundry room. Then Tuesday my computer refuses to open-just a black screen. I take it to London Drugs and they will look at it Friday. Then I found out the park has a computer I can use in the office . That is where I am now. I go and see Bill this morning and he is pondering how he will be able to drive a vehicle as his drop foot prevents his toes going up. He has an appointment with the doctor Mon January 30 .To add insult to injury my twins and family are in Palm Springs visiting Gerry's mom and dad. So I sit here wrapped in a blanket watching TV feeling sorry for myself.

only 30 steps from the rv park. snow looks beautiful

arrgghhh-(green with envy) I suppose I should count myself lucky as we dodged the proverbial SNOW .It has been amazingly warm and snowless. Soooo today it started ICK.yes it snowed during the night. I had a little excitement around 10pm an alarm goes off. I turn the furnace off and it stops. I put on my jacket and go outside, is anyone up?? Yes just across from me a man is taking his dog out. He comes over and checks things but cannot find why the alarm went off. Hope it doesn't happen again. The snow clears by noon I go visit Bill he is in a better mood today . Today is day 69 for him in the hospital. I am having trouble opening my hot mail on my computer and discover the park has a computer in the office we can use -hooray.
REMEMBER-when in doubt just take the next small step.

I guess it is about time I put everyone up to date. Bill has had a mishap he is the only one on his floor who contacted CDAD (a diarrhea problem). He still can only put 15% of his weight on the broken leg . Jan 16 they will try 50%. I have been busy with the twins-bowling, art classes and gymnastics. They are on the way to Palm Springs without us boo hoo. Gerry's mom has a park model in Palm Desert. They will be there for 10 days. I joined a group at the Burnaby seniors center to play Mexician train a very friendly group.
REMEMBER-Life isn't fair but it is still just the way we like it.
