Day 782 - 795
The time is coming when we have to make changes. Colin was over last night and pointed out a few things that I had also thought about, so over the summer we will see what transpires. Glenn isn't as fussy about moving any more, so I don't know what we'll do yet. I'm fighting this, and it is hard to face, I'll admit that.
Glenn went to the cardiologist, and we find that his left ventricle has become enlarged because of the arrhythmia and fibrillation. That means we are going to be going to the doctor more regularly too. His heart rate has been regulated by the new medication, but I don't know if his heart will recover, I didn't think to ask. We went to Regina in the rain the other day, and both of us were thinking that an attached garage would be nice! Day by day, we go along, and hope for the best.
Easter came and went, we had a busy weekend, but everything went well. We did lots of visiting, and ate lots of food. I watched the Passion on TV and was disturbed again by the whole thing, so that is a good thing. We need to be grounded by something, that seems to help me.
I'm still looking for a renter, but haven't been trying too hard, I'll admit. It seems to fall to the end of the day, and I don't have much steam left at the end of the day. I might be short of iron again, so I'll try to remember to take some over the next few days to see if that will help. I could have a bit of 'flu too, I seem to be a bit achy.
Happy belated birthday Marjorie, I was thinking of you, so we will do lunch or something soon.
'Til next time,
Louise

March 18 - April 4
Day 764 - 781
The crows have been back for a couple of weeks now, but it is still going to -10 at night. The snow is slowly disappearing, but there won't be much run off. My bird feeder is also attracting junkos, but I haven't seen any robins yet. It is cold.
We went to the cardiologist on Tuesday of this week, and he has put Glenn on a heart drug which will slow it's beating and regulate the arrhythmia. We went to the General Hospital first, then he sent us to his office, and they did an ultrasound on Glenn's heart. It was skipping around at the time, so I'm interested to hear what he has to say. We are booked for an EKG in May, so I feel that they are checking into this a bit more, although really the horse has left the barn, so to speak.
I also talked to a Realtor about a new building of condos that is going up behind the West Landing Mall, and was a bit disappointed that they don't have any on the ground floor. Glenn pointed out immediately that we would not be able to leave the building in case of a fire, because the first floor is above the parking garage, and not at ground level. I think that they shut elevators down as soon as an alarm sounds, so this is a problem. We were also shown a few other ones on the east side of the city, but the bathrooms were all too small, and not usable for Glenn and the chair. This may take more time than I thought, but we are still in the talking stages anyway.
We are gearing up for a family get together on the Easter weekend, so that is taking up some time too. I haven't seen much of the kids lately, so I assume all is well in their worlds. Wendy has been out to help put together another powerpoint, but we haven't visited many people lately. The weather has been miserable, and we have been out and about with therapy and Doctor appointments, so I don't feel like going out much at the end of the day or week for that matter. The kids were going to the bar to watch one of our friends play, and wondered if we wanted to go. Glenn was pretty relaxed in his recliner, and I had had a busy week, so we declined. I hope they had fun.
There's lots more to say, but it is only day to day stuff, and I'm sure you don't want or need to hear that. I want to wish everyone a Happy Easter, ask that you keep us in your prayers, we are still in need of them, but then who isn't?
