Home again




We're home! Thanks to our dear friend Karen for keeping the outdoor plants alive and well nourished!

John is being weaned from prednazone over the next week and then we hope to get him on a daily dosage drug that will eliminate any future bouts of gout. I have heard people complain about gout in a big toe. It is impossible to imagine what it was like for him to suffer with painful swellings in feet, ankles, knees and wrist!!
A knee replacement is in his future as the knee is seriously affected by arthritis.

Thanks to Tara for dropping everything when I needed a shoulder and an ear; to Heather, Chris & Augie for daily hospital visits; to family and friends for hospital visits, phone calls and emails.

Special thanks to the speedy and efficient response from a pair of wonderful paramedics who arrived on the heels of the Burnaby Fire Department.

The drive home in our new car was a dream...smooth
sailing on the Coaquihalla.
