Seems like every bit of good news we have is usually tempered with a bit of bad news. This is the case again now. Yesterday we finally just got running water in the house and even hot water to boot. This was fantastic as we now have a working toilet, sink and tub. We both enjoyed the luxury of bathing in nice hot water in the house (beats an outdoor shower hand down).
Obviously you can see these are just in a temporary state (No tub faucet, etc.), but I won’t compain at all, just love having them.
The real down side is that Aron was noticing some issues with his damaged eye, where he only had some vision part way down and the top half was dark. This was a new occurence and after some on-line sleuthing he found out it is likely a detached retina. He just got back from the local emergency and they are sending him back to a specialist in Calgary. He is packing his bag and heading off shortly as he is expected to see the specialist first thing tomorrow. Sounds like they could laser it back in place or put an air or oil bubble back in the eye to keep it in position. Not sure what the final outcome will be yet, I’ll update you when I know more.
Just hoping the drive goes well for him. We had a big dump of snow the other day and they had the Kootenay Pass closed down for awhile. It looks like it is open now, so I hope the drive is good for him.
So I’ll be here holding down the fort while Aron heads back for treatment. Life sure is a roller coaster ride.
