Time to build an ark?
Thank goodness we didn't get as much rain at the trailer as we got here over the weekend. Jordyn told me that they couldn't play soccer on Sunday as there was 2 inches of rain Saturday night. It was raining here when we got home last night and it rained all night long and is still spitting away out there! Enough already!
We had a good weekend at the trailer. It was chilly when we got there Friday night but we sat out around the fire for awhile before heading in. Saturday morning Gary went golfing and I went for my walk. In the afternoon we took part in the bean bag tournament which was fun. We headed home from there to put our chicken on the BBQ, we were having beer can chicken and it was very good. Don't know how we got so lucky but just as the chicken was finished we ran out of propane. Usually it runs out when you are about 1/2 done!
Yesterday we went to my aunt and uncle's over at the lake and had a potluck supper which was very good. The only bad thing about the whole weeknd was the mosquitos! They are just awful, what with all the rain we have had. There is no let up on them in sight either.
As far as knitting, I finished up the matching mittens to the WW I had finished and then cast on my next WW.
This morning my dad had his teleconference with his cancer doctor in Winnipeg. It is so nice that they can do that now and save a person having to drive all that way. The doctor told him that she was very worried when she heard what had lead up to his surgery and the initial post op report from Dr. Dhalla. But that she was very relieved when she read the pathology report. Dad told her, you might of been relieved, but not half as relieved as I was. So he has been told to go home and recover from his surgery and NO MORE chemo!!! He is so happy about that news. He has to see his family doctor in 3 months for a check up and then has to have a scope sometime after September. I really noticed this weekend that he looked as though he is finally putting on some weight. He is still bothered by diarreha, which his family doctor put him on antibiotic for, but the cancer doctor told him that antibiotic might not be what is required. He is suppose to go home and see how things behave now that he is done the perscription. If it worked then great, but if not to try taking immodium. She told him that it just might be from his surgery and what parts were involved in the surgery as well as what parts of his bowel that were removed. I have been suspicious of this, but when the doctor said antibiotic I never said anything to dad about it.
