Hanging Out

We have been busy these past few weeks. Murray just finished another term at school. Yahoo we are half way there. Yipeee!!!

Since I have been off work, I decided to go hang out with Murray in the city and with some friends that I have not seen in awhile. It has been alot of fun. Here are just a few pics of the past week.

Vancouver Island


This weekend my parents, sister and nephew and I went to the Island to visit my Uncle Bob.
The weekend was great, we went to Butchart Gardens and did some visiting and some shopping. It was great to just hang out with everyone and enjoy the wonder weather on Friday and Sunday. Uncle Bob arranged a tour for us to go up to the top of the boat to the command centre where the captain and crew work. It was really neat, I have never been up there before.

Life Update



I know it has been along time since I have posted anything. Murray and I are both doing well.
Next week Murray will be completing another term. We are almost 1/2 way through his school year. Hopefully he will come home for his term break. It will depend on how much work he has during this break. The top picture was taken while I was visiting with Murray last week.

On May 23rd, I went for carpal tunnel surgery. What an experience it has been. I have been humbled by it to say the least. Here are just a few things that I have learned to do since the surgery was on my right hand.

1. Using utensils to feed myself with my left hand, including chopsticks
2.Get dressed with one hand (after the first week) Mom had to help me during the first week.
3.Put on a seatbelt and close a car door with one hand
4. Type with my left hand only(which I am doing right now)
5. Cope with only having one hand to do everything
6. And many more things

I am doing much better, my stitches and partial cast have come off and I will be able to drive in about a week and half. I am looking forward to being able to do more on my own soon. The recovery time is 4 to 6 weeks. So that is not to bad. The relief that I have gotten so far has been worth it all. It will keep getting better day by day. Yipee

Thank you very much to everyone that has helped me out. I really appreciate ALL of your help.
