Our nephew (in law) from down East, fell off a ladder while cleaning his gutters and ended up paralyzed from the shoulders down. Owing to a previous back condition, this fall which anyone else would have gotten up from with a few bruises, has caused him paralysis. The news is not good but he is hoping for a miracle. Another nephew (in law ) on the west coast had a minor stroke which has left him with some speech issues and right hand struggles. Otherwise, he is doing good and improving each day. A few months of regular physio and speech therapy should bring him back to 100%.
Our own household seems to be doing fine after suffering almost two months with a cold that accompanied the flu from December. Still have a bit of coughing 'out of the blue' but at least the flu is over with. They said this flu lasted about 6 weeks and they were right!! Both of us are doing well now.
Looking forward to our camping days on the May long weekend but before that we are headed on a lovely European river cruise. Lots of tourist things to do and see. It will be a busy few days once we get back, getting our trailer into camp mode and all that goes into it, while also getting back to work at the same time. Busy lives!
This winter has been easy as far as snow goes and right now it seems like Spring is coming as it is melting and sunshine. I am bracing for March which will likely give us three months of snow in one good snowfall! Just like you don't say 'shut out' in a hockey game before it's finished...don't say we're into Spring when it is only February!! March is coming!
Glad to be back in the blogging mode.
