Shortly before 2:00 p.m. yesterday, one of our great employees at our little country-convenience store let us know that she’d tested positive for COVID-19. She only works for us a day and a half per week, as she has another full-time position, but she’s extremely valued. She reports that she’s feeling okay, although has a …

One week ago, I was attending my 40th high school reunion.I remember when my mother went to her 40th & 50th reunions – I thought she was ancient. Of course, I’m sure that no one sees me that way . . .Our high school was a bit odd – it was “co-institutional,” which meant the nuns taught …
I’m getting tired of pundits battering the Canadian health care system. Even Obama can’t get it right!A bit over a week ago, Don & I listened to Obama at a Montana town hall meeting. One woman asked a question about Canadian health care, and its possible use as a template. Obama responded that the US …
I’ve blogged about health care before – 17 times, to be exact. Some of those entries have been comparing certain aspects of US and Canadian health care from my own personal experience (see July 14, 2007 and July 15, 2007).Now comes the raging debate in the US – along with well-funded but serious and frightening misinformation about what …

Since then, I’ve been looking for a drumming circle within a fairly easy driving distance of our home, with little luck. Through postings on …
*With all due respect to the Beatles.Just got back from St. Mike’s, and I continue to improve. For the past 2 weeks I’ve been wearing an aircast 23+ hours a day (showers and minimal toe-wiggling accounted for the remainder of the time). My best news: I don’t have to wear it at night anymore! For …
Baby steps today, with my “new” Canadian Legion walker.Still no pain. How can that possibly be? I’ve got two incisions – one several inches long – and you can see the x-ray yourself. How can it possibly not be excruciating to take my first steps on my new ankle?It doesn’t feel normal. I have to walk …
Good news.Cast is off (while it was a lovely red cast, I’m glad to be rid of it). Ankle is looking good, incisions healing well, and I’ve graduated to an aircast. Even more remarkably, in 2 days – Wednesday – I’ll be able to start weight bearing, with no restrictions apart from pain.This report is …
