5C's Que Pasa

We had a to do list for the weekend but most of the things that we did were not on that list. Once we finished inside we went out and did a few jobs in the yard.  We brought 150 feet of warm white rope lights back from Yuma.  I had found a deal online [...]

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, [...]

….of a visit.  So much done in so little time. First I would like to thank Colin for surprising me and you with yesterdays blog post.  I can’t believe he got 10 comments. I chose to use wheelchair service at both airports coming and going and I am so very glad I did.  I would [...]

…and I am excited even if I am coming back here tomorrow.  Nice to be able to do something different and to see my parents.  For a variety of reasons I have not seen them for almost three years.  They could not come here and I was unable to go to them.  Previously we visited [...]

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 [...]

Monday was our last full day with our Culiacan family and we spent most of the day just relaxing. I prepared a huge final dinner with fresh caught dorado.  We had a bit of delay as the young folk had gone into Mazatlan for some fun.  Finally dinner was over and it was time for [...]

Where does the day go?  Where does the week go?  We have been busy with a variety of guests since January 31st and we have loved every minute of it.  Unfortunately after our Culiacan guests left late Tuesday afternoon, my body decided that enough was enough. I have been stopped in my tracks…literally!  That is [...]
