Had my appointment with Dr. O'Grady this afternoon. He said I should have no problems getting approved for OHIP-covered surgery. He's going to write them a recommendation for me this week, and said that we will likely get an answer back within a month's time and that I could possibly be getting the surgery as early as March. Christopher and I were ( Read more... )

I had my routine checkup with Dr. Larsen this morning. I still need to go to LifeLabs and get my bloodwork done, but I can do that another day. Dr. Larsen said he expects everything to come back normal, though. He took my blood pressure, listened to my lungs, did my PAP smear, etc. And I asked him for a referral to a plastic surgeon for breast ( Read more... )

Work continues to be awesome. I've never had a supervisor I get along with as well as I do with Quetti. I guess the closest would be legendof12world, but even with her there would be personality clashes sometimes. Quetti and I just feed off one another's energy so perfectly. It's absolutely awesome. And she really likes and trusts me, as much as I do her. She ( Read more... )

Gramma is back in the hospital again. It doesn't sound like she's doing very well. Her foot has lost sensation, and her shoulder is messed up again. She's in a lot of pain, and seems to be quite discouraged. Dad said it's the first time he's seen her feel like giving up. Not sure what's going to happen or how long she's going to be in this time.

I just randomly thought up our dinners for the rest of the week. Then -- Gramma gave us, some time ago, one of those dry-erase board calendars for our fridge and we've never used it -- so, I wrote the meals for each day on there. I've seen this sort of thing on cooking shows before, where "professionals" are trying to teach normal families how to ( Read more... )

Well, we've just recently returned from the 8 AM service at Emmanuel Anglican. First of all, I can't believe I'm awake right now. On a typical Sunday, I would be asleep or just getting out of bed. Christopher's just left for work. Typically he would be waking me up to lean over and hug me in bed before he departs. But today, for the first time in a ( Read more... )

I have gotten some ideas for almost everyone's Christmas presents! Now if only we could find the money to buy them all. I know that we need to sit down together and create a budget, but Christopher just gets so frustrated every time we talk about money. And I understand why, because I do too. We're determined to get a good lot of things that are ( Read more... )

So, I'm quite late on this bandwagon, but I just saw the trailer for the movie Fireproof yesterday and then found out that it's not showing in Canada. I'm very upset about that, because I really, really want to see it ( Read more... )
