We now are residing in our third floor condo, up the hill from the river so trusting we will not flood.(ever) but never say never!!!!!! We are all moved in, now comes the relocating and organization of how we want things to be for awhile. My sister Donna and brother-in-law Murray were here for a week. Donna's goal was to get pictures hung. She and Murray did an amazing job. Fortunately, she didn't find them all!!!!! Sometimes less is more. The pictures did make things feel way more comfy and homey. Thanks guys.
July 5 saw us out in Cochrane for our niece Jody's wedding to Jason Ferguson. It was fun and special to share in their day. Donna and Murray left for home and my mom came to stay with us for a week. My brother David and our sister in law Betty were over at different times, on a few days, but had "in law accommodation." The room that I call my office has our wall bed in it so we are still set up for overnight company.
We are getting use to condo living. It is different from what we know but a change is as good as a rest so the saying goes. Once the house sale was settled and we drove by I was much more settled. I loved how the buyers had a swing out on the front patio and chairs and table and umbrella on the back deck. There were flower pots lined up by the garage so I thought "good someone to care for the yard and enjoy it." Now, you gotta realize I wasn't stalking the house or them!!! but you can see a lot when you know where to look =} . There were even ladders on the outside hangers Bob had put up and used!!!! Cough, cough, we are looking after our neighbor's house next to our old Elgin house so we will pop over tonight to check the house out for Bob and Michelle (their house, not their new neighbors).
To me living in the condo is like being at a resort. We overlook the fountain park so it is pretty much a block across the park to the boulevard. We have some nice, getting to be 3 storey tall, trees in front. During the day we can hear and watch kids playing in the fountain, in the playground and shooting hoops. Families have picnics and it is a really neat atmosphere. Kinda like the times we use to spent at Clear Lake minus the campfires. The ice cream truck even happens by regularly.
Bob is on his final week of this course of chemo. He has had a fair bit more pain lately, mostly in the one hip. It seems somewhat better right now but Bob is using his walking stick a lot. Bob now says that the hip feels it is bruised--not black and blue though. Altho last week we took mom up to see Mike and Cori and kids and guess what grandpa did?? He went down the waterslide with Maksim. We are really hoping that is the cause of the sore hip. Bob's blood sugar seems to be staying higher for a longer time on the dex days. Bob bought a new tester that connects to the computer through a usb port. Bob is checking more often and will have a better record to share with our GP. It mostly comes to doing enough activityso today we went shopping, Ahhh come on that is walking!!!!!!
On July 30 Bob will have a PET scan and see Dr. Bahlis afterwards. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say about my dear hubby. I promise to do a short post afterwards.
Enjoy a new week of summer before it is gone.
