For better or for worse, our little trailer is home to us (for now). Even though the circumstances of our trip to Calgary were not ideal, it was great to see family and friends but equally great to come back home again.
First things first, I’m sure you are wondering how Aron is doing. He had an emergency cornea transplant on Thursday. The surgery went well and when they removed his cornea, all the damaged done from the accident was removed, so that is good news. The recovery for a cornea transplant is slow, full recovery is about 6 months to a year. He has to take it easy for a few weeks and not bend over or lift anything heavy. That will be hard for him as we have so much going on out here. He will also have to go back frequently for follow-ups with the surgeon. We are so greatful that we have such a good health care system in Canada, it may not be perfect, but we could focus on what Aron needed done rather on how much things cost or how we would pay for it.
So we got back home on Saturday night. The roads were good so it was a good drive. We made it just before the forecast changes to snow/rain for the next week. We got a bit of snow last night.
We thought we’d have loads of activity here Monday morning with drywallers and siding crews going all last week. But for some reason, no one has shown up today. Hopefully tomorrow things will kick into high gear again.
Here are some photos of some of the work completed last week.
Window trim and soffits going on
Also, Maggie had a little procedure last week when we were in Alberta. She has a growth removed from the side of her face. Now she has to wear the cone of shame (poor girl). She’s doing pretty good with it on, uses it as a scoop shovel out in the snow. It is hilarious, she loves the snow and she runs with her cone against the ground and fills up the cone with snow.
We did our Christmas with our kids early, on our visit back last week, as we won’t be back together until next year. Took a few pictures with JJ, our grandaughter. We had lots of fun with her over the week we were there. Can’t wait for her to come visit us out here again in the summer.
