Change Of Plans
September 24th, 2008
You will recall that the plan called for us to go to the Stroke Clinic on Monday September 22, get the A-OK and start packing, ready to hit the road a week later on September 29, destination Alberta, the West Coast and finally Mexico.
So we were right on time for our Monday appointment but that’s where the plans change. My doctor strongly suggests some more tests, ponting out that the odds of havng a another stroke are really good with in 90 days of a mini-stroke. So we should s l o w d o w n.
The tests begin tomorrow, then mid October, then another test or 2 all winding up back at the Stroke Clinic to see the doctor on October 27. Suddenly getting out of here in early November would be a gift!
So no more head west to Edmonton, and beyond. Now instead of a plan it’s a hope for a trip somewhere south before it gets too cold and nasty. Mar will fly out to Edmonton for a few days, all will be well.
Marilyn is finished work this Friday and so we have plan “B”.
We have lived in Ontario for more than 6 years and have never really seen the “World Famous” fall colors. This year we will. We also now have time to do all the things we didn’t have time to do before we left.
I’ll bet you big money there will be a new clean canvas on the easel by this time next week and a great opportunity to get together one more time with our good friends.
It’s all good!

We will keep in touch and maybe when you come north in the spring – come by our new digs in Palm Springs.
