April 10, 2006: still in Victoria



Headline: NO SURGERY NEEDED!

WHO: The orthopedic specialist said ...

WHAT: that surgery on my ankle is definitely over the top, don't need it! hooray...

WHEN: Found out this morning, and it may take from 2 to 6 months to heal

WHERE: she was in Colwood a fair drive from here in Sidney but really nothing compared to other distances, (like fly me to the moon)

WHY: the injury is probably a resurfacing of an old injury from 20 years ago when I chipped a bone in that ankle, hence the instability... and going in barefeet on the boat aggravated it... damn I'm getting old

HOW: so I will be going to Physio for ultrasound, laser, accupunture, massage, exercises, whatever it takes to aid the healing... I am so excited to be able to do things, exercise as long as its not weight bearing: swimmming, bicycling....

Topics of Interest: So now to figure out what I will do for the next few months and into the future... hmmmmm... anything that doesn't mean standing on my feet all day, no retail jobs... haha

Community News: Can't wait to get out the door and find out what's going on out there... Other than the huge building of luxury condos going up in the middle of town, I have no idea what's going on...

Environmental news: its SUNNY... oh wait that's weather...hmmm... okay its probably this sunny because of global warming which is bad but at this point being a person who loves sunshine I am thoroughly pleased.

Checking out the Planet: the States is trying to make being an illegal immigrant a felony... great... ever see the film A Day without a Mexican?... where would they be without their immigrants? NPR just keeps playing the same cllips again and again.... if I have to hear Bush way "WILD speculation" one more time... okay time to change the station...

Sports: Can't wait to go biking and swimming.... and sailing and canoing and kayaking... Curling made the front page of the newspaper! I am SO in Canada!

Book reviews: I'm in the middle of a fantasy on about a soldier woman, it's okay but very factual and no humour... think I'll pick up the Myth Inc books again... and try to find the last in the Game of Thrones series...

Movie Reviews/News: Saw "Brazil" again... had forgotten most of it, twisted and enjoyable in that dark humour sort of way...

Quote of the Month: "Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable." ~Sydney J. Harris

Coming Events: Easter... enjoy... think Spring and bunnies and eggs and all those other fertile symbols!!
