Rest and Recovery

Thanks to all of you who have forwarded their best wishes for my speedy recovery, and to those wishing Dana the best dealing with a husband who risks all for "fun and adventure". We are both doing well and striving to move on.

Monday was a true "recovery day". Sleep, eat, rest, eat, rest, eat.....sleep. Oh, plus we attended the annual 13th street Valentine's Day block party in the evening. Everyone on our block turned out for a pot-luck and visit. It was great to meet all the neighbours and enjoy some social activity. The next block party is on St Patrick's Day.

Today was a stunningly beautiful day in the desert. Another sunny, warm day with temperatures reaching the mid to high 70's. We spent the morning at poolside, in the hot tub and pool. Dana got a tour of the workout room by a contract fitness coach. It was after noon when we made it home for a late lunch. This evening we attended the Resort "Manager's Happy Hour" at the big pool area. We went with Mike and Darlene. We enjoyed the free beer, sunshine and social in the sunshine. A live band kept the place hopping.

Interesting story. When we were at the happy hour a fellow came up to me and said, "You probably don't remember my name". I looked at him with an obvious blank look. He told me his name and said he worked for me when we were in Calgary. As soon as he said his name I did remember him. I was, and still am amazed that he would remember me after 30 years and pick me out of a crowd in Mesa, Arizona. Maybe there is more to this story.... I will investigate.

We have Canadian satellite TV in our trailer. It is nice to catch a little of the Canucks games on the tube. I am still hopeful that I will be able to get tickets to their last game in Phoenix on March 8. If not, Spring Training (Baseball) will be in full swing and I am sure I/we will get our sports fix that way.

I am feeling much better today. My AC joint seems to be healing and the swelling has mostly disappeared. For now it's one day at a time.....
