Gone To Vernon

August 22nd, 2009

My Mom was discharged from hospital yesterday after their barrage of tests on Thursday showed that she’d recovered enough to no longer need the hospital’s services anymore. We only found out Friday morning so my sister had a whirlwind day of organizing transportation and follow-up appointments. This morning the two of them packed up and started the drive to Vernon. I haven’t heard from them yet but I expect them to arrive soon.

The last two weeks have gone by in an eyeblink. It started with my Mom heading into hospital for some tests to assess whether or not they would perform the surgery and suddenly it was scheduled for a week later! Now that it’s all over and my Mom’s safely on her way to Vernon I feel relieved to know everything’s been taken care of. Today I made a huge list of all the things I’ve pushed off the past couple of weeks and spent an intense morning running around getting all my errands done.

I’ve also booked this entire week off of work so I can go to Tofino on Tuesday to roar around the Broken Group islands with Dave in his new boat. It’s going to be so much fun and I expect it’ll be just as good a time as we had last December.
