Update - Friday, April 18, 2009

As you see, time between posts is extending and for a very good reason. There is less and less to report on - we are all getting better !

I am feeling better and stronger all the time, although I am not back to what I was before all this started. I'm now trying to sort out what is age-related fatigue and what is still recovery from medical treatments. Hard to know ! I was outside working for an hour or so yesterday in the sun and then sat for a while on the front porch in my favourite spot - more sun! Felt wonderful! Then I was in bed by 8:30...slept 12 hours. So - hard to tell. I'm desparately out of shape, one way or another and that will be my main project this spring and summer.

David had a follow-up visit to his eye surgeon this week and all is going well there, too. He has stitches in his eye which will dissolve but are still irritating. It will be 6 - 9 months before his vision has stabilized completely although he can see better all the time.

My sister continues to improve as well although it is also a slow process for her. The pins are out of her wrist, stitches for that are removed, sling is not needed all the time, physiotherapy is helping. Those broken ribs are still painful though and she still is using a cane. She gets to her office about three days a week and continues to work from home at other times as she has been doing right along. Ottawa has a great ParaTranspo service and this is her transportation most of the time.

So - we see on going improvements and are getting back into life. It's so good to feel healthy again ! Thank you for your ongoing prayers.
