another day, another cast.

I woke up Sat am to discover I had cracked my cast on the outside- no idea how, but I didn't sleep well that night. After a few phone calls this morning, I trrrekked up to the hospital and saw the surgeon in clinic. He assured me I had made the right call and an orderly cut the old cast off. The first look at my right arm was cool-I won't get too gross- the incision is clean and healing well, I have feeling near the site and distal (further from the heart) so the team put on a new slab cast (open along the top of the arm-which is bent at 90 degrees) . I wear this one for one more week- they do this becaues of swelling- then on Monday the 21st, I am immobilized in a full cast for three weeks- the staples(9) come out at that time as well. And then, when THAT cast comes off, I start to regain my range of motion and finally strength-building with Physio. Was told that ,technically speaking, I am not supposed to do things like DRIVE A CAR(whoops- who knew?) so I will have time on my hands-er- I mean ...hand. Good ting I em a reel guud reeder, i rekkin. Kat and Rob, congrats again!Dad,(79 YEARS YOUNG) and Heather (21YEARS OLD-WOW)-HEY your age plus Granddad's age is...a lot!
4 Generations -tempus fugit when you're havin' fun. Love to all, Rod.

Fever & Ice

A quick updtate from the McBertke household. Mom is feeling better and has gone back to work so the little children are happy again and willing to learn. Tom has taken on Mom's horrible cold/fever/nausea/ thing from last week and has spent the last two days on the couch. He's not doing too well.

Saturday night Mom and I went to see the Celebration on Ice at the Sudbury Arena like the cheesy skating fan-girls that we are. Totally amazing! Kurt Browning, Elvis Stoijko (who we've never seen live!), Brian Orser, Shae-Lyn Bourne and more. There was a set of skating acrobats from the Ukraine that did these incredible lifts and flipping tricks. It was like Cirque de Soleil on ice. And there was another duo who used all kinds of props (hula hoops, pipe cubes, neck harnesses) to do death defying throws, lifts and tricks. It was spectacular. I've never seen anything like it before. Mom said it was a Vegas show on ice - that outlandish. And then, there wad Jeffrey Buttle! The new Canadian men's champ, on his way to Moscow for the world championships and we got to see him! Standing Ovation all around for the home town boy.

And that's about all for this week. cheers, Raye :)
