Just Catching Up

I thought I should fill in a variety of different topics that I have mentioned in my blog over the past few months in case anyone is wondering.


My adult son has recovered very well from the injuries he received when he was riding his bike to work and he got hit by a car. His tibia (bone in lower leg) was broken  but it was a good recovery. The bone had stayed in place and it is not the one that supports the weight when you stand so he was able to get to work within a couple of weeks. He still has a fair bit of discomfort, but life goes on and it really has not been all that long since the accident. He still will have to deal with the personal injury insurance and repairs to his bike.



My younger daughter has had a much harder time. She crashed our car in September and she really did in her ankle. She needed surgery and is still getting physiotherapy. She has been off work most of this time. About 6 weeks ago they started to phase her back into work. The insurance is still paying her salary and the replacement staff is still at work, but my daughter started with working 2 hours shifts a couple times during the week, and finally in the past 2 weeks, she has been able to last for a full shift on her own. She is still in a lot of pain and they are trying acupuncture now. She used to do a lot of distance walking and some running and it was a real stress reliever for her so that is an activity she still hopes to do again someday.



I got my results back from the mammogram and it is all clear. Yippee! They will contact me in two years to set up a next appointment and I really like the fact that they will call me next time. This is a good government initiative program.
