~ A Day's Ramble ~

I had meet with this rehabilitation specialist today. I think it's a good thing as it was all within the planning and we sat down and she literally went through my entire history and all the doctors that I have seen in the hospital as well all that have been set up. It's something when you have to place it all out and sign a paper giving the allowance for one to look into your entire history. Yet there was that assurance. When I met here within the hospital before I was sent home it I honestly had my reservations. I found as with all things that were being addressed that she really had a good jest on all that I had been through and as well the things that were needing to be addressed. Going over all things physically and within the genetics of my family. I guess she was looking to see if I had any genetic dispositions and then she had the list of my physician and two specialists. And it did go well within a good way. She was pleased with all that I was doing and thought that there was a good change in what I was doing. As well she went into goal structures. So I knew that this week was going to be a busy but being busy is good. So all is well, and seemingly everything is working out as planned. She suggested that I return back into the gym and at the same time take it easy as she had done I had a physical done and all things are well. So I meet with her again in two weeks and this is the second stage within this process.

I had taken my car in yesterday to get serviced  - later within the day I went back to get it and when I left, I could see that there was something wrong with the steering, so I drove back and the head of the service department took a brief drive with it. He said that he would have it back in ASAP. As this time of the year they are busy within the place called Merlin Ford - this morning they finally got it in and up on the hoist and here the tie rod need to be replaced. So the onus was on them. So since there neglected to do a test drive that comes along as part of the service - I am having that replaced free of charge. Another plus. Coupled with all of this my cousin whom is from my father's side came into town and I was able to get a left downtown and then we had coffee and talked for a good hour. I have not seen Trev in the a few years. He is within his 60's but and from my father’s side. He had no idea of all that had happened with me and then he mentioned that any time to give him a call and he will be more than happy to assist me with anything that I may need. So the talk and all was great as well as the ride. Tomorrow I do have another meeting with another specialist at 1pm. thereafter I will be heading way out on the other side of town to get my car. It shall be a decent day. So all in all everything is going as planned and I am more than pleased with how things have been coming together. The above picture was taken today. It's my cousin that was in town. During his twenties he inherited allot of money as his mother (my aunt) had lost three husbands. Two of my aunt Ed's husbands were killed within the Second World War.  Trev went on to travel around the world twice. He was one of those that were within the peace movement. I recall one summer when Trev was home. He had real long hair. Three of my other cousins cut it all off while he was asleep and the next day he was not pleased at all. How he has changed as he is a smart one. I mentioned to him that he seemingly is the ambassador within the family. And his remarks back were, "Not really Jack as I am just living there as most all have moved on."

And he suggested that I might wish to decide to move back there as the town is only 13,000 thousand but they forecast that it will be 25,000 in five years primarily due to all the Potash companies that are opening up new mines at this very moment.  Then he married when he was 25.

He is much older than me and the last time that I had seen him in person was nearly five years ago. Yet there is a connect and this was truly the icing on the cake today.

All in all, this was a full day and a great day health wise and otherwise.
