Went to the Dr Today

 and he said that yes, I will be ready to go back to work on the last date he gave me....

which is August 6, the last day of my holidays, lol!!

He said my both my knees were kinda loose but my bad one felt good enough that I should be able to take the brace off....start doing it around the house and then progress from there. The way it feels now though, I think I may need a tensor bandage on it though when I go back to work....though that's two weeks away so it might be fine by then  It just that my knee still feels a little squishy when I walk, lol!!

Mike, believe it or not is still waiting to be booked for another MRI....it was almost 8 weeks ago that they did the x-ray that the dr looked at and thought he didn't like the looks of it....so for all that time it may have been healing wrong!!! The waiting in this system is crazy unless you are admitted to the hospital it seems!!  We have to go all the way back to Ottawa (a six hour round trip) to do the MRI and hopefully she will be able to book us an appt with the surgeon there at the same time.

Seeing as how we were in the city, we went looking for cars or vans, whichever we found first and we found a green Ford Taurus that was right up our alley and within our finances, lol! Comes certified and e-tested and it should be ready tomorrow or Friday 
Well, that was painless, as I can't believe we found one that fast, lol!!
Plus I called to put the insurance on it today and they said they will send an adjustor out to look at the van so we may get some $ for it after all 

All in all it was a good day....thank goodness, cuz I've been feeling overwhelmed thinking about it all 

Colin Ditches my Van

 What's everyone up to this weekend??

We were supposed to go to my sisters today for my nephew's birthday but Colin
put our van in the ditch, so it's in the shop 
Thank goodness him and Colton weren't hurt and there wasn't alot of damage,
but he's got the truck at work today so we still have no vehicle, lol!

He's working two jobs now, he's done at No Frills and is working at a camp park here
cleaning up campsites and such, mowing lawns...etc....
and he got a call from The Bloomfield Carriage House a local restaurant
and they have hired him on as their sous chef....they got his name from someone involved
with the Iron Chef competition that he took part in...he is tickled pink to be working and training there!!
Especially at only 17 years old!

Cody our oldest is still out west. He just finished a week opening a new No Frills in Vancouver and
last nite called us from the Okatokes (I think that's how you spell it, lol) near Calgary
and they are spending 3 weeks there opening new stores....
his first time on a plane and his
first time away from home for that long! I guess it will get him
prepared for his first year away at college this fall 

The two youngest spent the nite at friends' houses so it's just Mike and I today.....
we aren't going far seeing as how we don't have any wheels, lol!!
I've got sheets in the wash and need to go hang them on the line, but that's
about all on my list for the day, lol!!

I think I'll lounge around in the swing and read some of my latest book too
