5C's Que Pasa

It was an eventful evening and night.  The family were called in at 1230AM to say their goodbyes to Mom.  Meanwhile I called the hospital and found out that she was still in Emergency.  I spoke to Mom’s nurse who explained why the family had been called in.  My reply was that for my Mom [...]

Thirty minutes ago this post was titled……Emergency trip back to Edmonton! Mom was rushed to hospital this morning via ambulance.  I was out till about 1PM seeing my own Dr. so had no idea of the situation until I got home.  I spoke to the ER Dr. who was not optimistic.  Tests were being performed, [...]

I decided late Friday night that I would fly to Edmonton on Monday morning and join my parents at their appointment with their family Doctor.  They are both actually seeing this Dr. at the same time  so not only will Mom’s recent problems be reviewed but Dad’s also.  As some of you may know I [...]

I had a reservation to go see my family in June but cancelled it today. My mom got back from the hospital late last night and the bottom line diagnosis is that “she is a mess”.  When I specifically asked questions, both Mom and Dad were very vague.  When I asked ‘what is next’ they [...]

Not a great day today. Oh the weather is practically perfect with a high of 30C.  But it is too hot for me with these heavy compression stockings on my legs.  They go from my toes to the tops of my thighs and no matter how light of a sun dress I put on I [...]

Before I start….this is NOT tick related. Colin spent the weekend sorting and tidying and putting our house back together.  I finally emptied 5 boxes and got my desk organized.  Of course I have a stack of work to do but I will be sitting at an organized desk. I can sit at my desk [...]

This entire return home has been full of firsts for us. Another first was the decision to unload the entire RV on the inside other than pots and pans, etc.  All the food was coming out.  We have used the beach site for the RV storage and we would often weekend in the RV even [...]

There are three HSBC banks here in Mazatlan and we will go to one in the next few days to try our ATM cards once again.  Thinking back I believe that over the years we have only used an HSBC ATM and that was mostly by accident. Meanwhile I have called our CIBC VISA people [...]

Yesterday we went into town for a few things which I will relate in another post.  One thing we needed to do was get some pesos as we are almost on empty.  We have not used an ATM machine here in Mazatlan since the end of January.  We went to a bank in Centro to [...]

Well actually a perfect few days and today promises to be the same.  I hope your Christmas was as wonderful as ours.  Each one of us celebrates in different ways but what is important is that you are happy. Colin and I had a wonderful meal while watching a Christmas movie.  What could be better? [...]
