August 28 -- The 4-Week Mark

Hi all,

We have now passed the 4 week mark in recovery mode.  Arnie has made great strides in the last little while. He is eating well and he has even been spotted making himself his own lunch and getting his own snacks! Rumour has it he has gained some weight although he has yet to confirm exactly how much. I am told it is impolite to ask someone how much they weigh.

Arnie is doing a great job following Dr.'s orders and moving around the house well and supplementing with walks outside. He has made it to the top of the street and back.

He is trying to spend more time out of our room but it seems we are a little too noisy at times. When that happens he goes back upstairs to the quiet of our bedroom to contemplate the silence. He should congratulate himself with the design and build of our house because with the bedroom door closed, silence reigns while outside, the chaos continues.

This weekend the Raiders hockey season begins so the goal will be to make it to a game. Until that time, we will be updating Arnie by phone or he will be watching on line. They won their 1 st exhibition game last night. Go Raiders!

Have a wonderful long weekend
Liz
