just a quick note… I had the chance to be reminded today why I had been enthused about my family doc when first meeting him in nov.08. Apparently he has found a pain specialist that he thinks will be very useful in finding options for me. I can not say I am confident but his [Read more]
Another very long day, in the back of my head at all times is White Lake and how I will deal with being unable to go if that nightmare actually materializes. Emeraude’s birthday was wonderful. 4 years old already. I can’t say that I can’t believe it as I worked hard to enjoy every [Read more]
Je ne suis pas en très bonne forme ces jours-ci, v’la une couple de semaine j’ai réaliser que mes médicaments ne faisait plus effets; cela est normal avec des opioïdes, ton corps s’habitue et il faut re-ajuster). Je suis allé à l’urgence – c’est là que [Read more]

We went to the playground behind Graham (street) tonight and had a blast. We laughed too hard, played shark (some of that in the photos), boating, loved every minute of the silliness! Both the kids were so much fun. We went to the Petro after and bought gummy bear twisters (Lloyd & Emeraude) [Read more]

Once I was in, although it hurt at first (very painful pins and needles, much more pronouced and sharper then the kind of pins & needles you might feel when your foot falls asleep) and my skin felt very uncomfortable, the heat went deep to make the pain back off somewhat or as they describe it in [Read more]
It would seem that I am a prime candidate for use as a scapegoat to answer the problem of doctors in Manitouwadge and why our community might have trouble getting them here. I received a letter this week that basically re-iterated a conversation (mostly one sided as I was not sure what the person [Read more]

So, I didn’t get around to bringing my van in to get fixed. This is a HUGE problem as the garage is closed today and we should be leaving first thing in the morning (or tonight would’ve really been best). I did get an offer from a friend to drive us which is really thoughtful! [Read more]
Had some spare time @ the hospital earlier and took advantage of it to make this video… [Read more]
