Mary's first step towards being a bionic woman. Her knees and hips have not been good the past few years. This week she had her left knee replaced. The other knee will likely follow and maybe also her hips, but one step at a time. Recovering for one night in the Welland hospital, a sudden surprise visitor walked in her room next morning. Hilary came over for a week!
Later that day, I had the pleasure to pick up Mary for the six weeks recovery period at home. She was dressed and ready to go about six hours before the hospital staff could let her go...
Next to it always being nice to have Hilary over for a visit, it is also convenient that she has her nursing experience. Even more so, because I ended up in the ER of the Welland Hospital the next day after a tough night during which my enlarged prostate was having a dispute with my bladder. Also excellent assistance of the hospital staff and what a relief when they relieved my bladder. Now walking around with a "baggie" for a bit till my urologist can look at what happened. Nevertheless, that evening I did attend a Welland Rotary Paul Harris Awards event at the Flatwater Center. It was nice to see a variety of people being recognized for their amazing community volunteer activities. I decided to "retire" from the Rotary club, district and foundation work after 27 years of active membership in July this year.
