May 3, 2008

Hello Family and Friends:

In comparison with the previous week, Robin had a low-key, sleepy week. He hasn't quite recovered from that horrible sneeze pain yet. However, yesterday he walked 14 blocks to the clinic to have his blood tested. He took the street car home to limit his walking. I really think the dreary weather had something to do with his mood too. It felt like we were in a Bronte novel with all that grayness and wind (perhaps Wuthering Heights).

Connie and Eric, our neighbours and friends, came for a lovely visit. Visitors are good for the heart and soul. Like I've written earlier, Robin is always perkier during and after the visits. Thank you for your visit as well as Larry and Mum McCubbin.

After nearly eight years of non-stop travel it is good to be on the ground and resting. A life of airports, hotel rooms and board rooms, although professionally exciting, is tough on the body. This is time to regenerate.

This ends Robin's third week. Next weekend I will be winding down Robin's progress reports because it will mark the half-way point in his recovery. I maintain this blog as a way to communicate with family and friends, so you are VERY welcome to stay with us for our normal day-to-day life reports. It's the McCubbin-MacDonell Soap Opera after that.

Just to let you know, we live in an interesting and diverse community. Our street and community have it's own blog called, "The Spirit of Lakeshore". If you are interested, here is the community blog address: www.thespiritoflakeshore.blogspot.com

Heartfelt regards to everyone.


April
