No News is Good News

Dad has been recovering well from his surgery this past weekend. My sister came down from Calgary Saturday and stayed until Tuesday. Dad's sister came in on Tuesday morning and just went back today. Mom has set up camp in Saskatoon with a old friend of hers from nursing training and came back for a meeting in Regina yesterday and was around till three today. The roads were a bit traitorous as Saskatoon got a dump load of snow. Mom did enjoy her rest as she needed it. Dad did develop shivers, high blood pressure, a temp and some chills last night. They did his blood work and put him on some antibiotics. The nurse reassures mom that it is just a unrinary infection and not the kidney rejecting itself. I've been only up Sunday but as mom says they are quite restrictive on the visiting. 12-8 pm but from 1-3 is rest time. I'll probably call him and talk to him, once mom gets his cell phone charged.

I've been putting around working on mom and dad's house. I ripped down the old chimney and some siding and have begun insulating, trying to get it all done before the white stuff flies. Now that my helping is disabled for three months I'll have to find some other help. It's getting cold, but minimal snow, so all is ok, so far.
