THR Recovery in Labrador

[dougie0216]

Happy Anniversary @labanan . I still remember your tale of trying to get home from the hospital.
When we get all healed-up, it is almost like coming back from a journey that had a demented tour guide.
I'm glad you are doing well.
We went from 24C to -6C in one week. We had freezing rain and sleet last night. It is supposed to be close to 30C by Wednesday. Life on the Great Plains...

Hi Labanan,
Is it a Winter Wonderland in your area yet?
I miss reading a Labanan update now and again. They often sounded like romantic adventures.
Hoping all is well with you as I tag some of our old BS friends.
Want to wish you a lovely holiday season and a happy healthy 2019!
@labanan

Hi @labanan
Happy New Year!
What's the weather like where you are? Did you have a white Christmas again? I had a green one And in some spots of the Rhine-Main area near Frankfurt, the roses are still blossoming. It's 8°C (46°F). I summer we had the most amazing heatwave for years - summer weather from May to October.
Stay healthy and fit. Hugs from Constanze

Hello all happy hippies! I realized I hadn't checked in here for eons. Guess that tells you something! This will be way too long if I include everything since I last updated but I'll give you the salient details.

1. My hip is great (both really though one is the one I was given starting out this time around). I don't have any pain in the hip - only a painful tug across my midsection should I spend too long bent over which my acupuncturist and I think is scar tissue . It is no big deal at any rate.

2. This last summer my fella and I moved back to Nova Scotia after five years in Labrador. I miss the solitude and wild beauty but love spending time with my family and friends.

3. Ron and I are going to Cuba on my two year anniversary of hip surgery. Last time I went (a year before my surgery) I was only pain free in the water. I cannot wait!

4. I'm still drawing, painting and writing. Haven't made any dolls in awhile though.

5. I have a pal that is on the long list to get her hip done and I've pushed her your way.

6. Life is good!

Hi @labanan , nice to hear from you and that your hip is fine. It looks as if Nova Scotia is also a great place and also quite fresh (when I was in New Zealand, I was told by a New Zealander not to say "cold" I should say "fresh"), since you've had snow. Will you be taking/have you taken on some kind of employment/self-employment in Nova Scotia? Or will you retire? I remember your job in Labrador was very interesting - working with children from minority groups like first nations, wasn't it?
This year's February in the Frankfurt area has been peculiar - very dry, below freezing at night (no snow) and spring-like and sunny in the day. I can see the moon, Venus and Jupiter in the morning sky very clearly. I enjoy that, especially since my eyesight has improved after I had my cataract operated. Now I can drive without glasses; I only need reading glasses. My hip is fine. I did a half-marathon on Feb. 17 in 2 hour 3 minutes - one minute better than last year. Caught a bad cough after that but it's better now. Still working at a German medicines authority as a translator. These are the main points. Enjoy your life in Nova Scotia - and have a successful and peaceful time there. Hugs from Constanze

@labanan So happy to hear from you.
I was worried you had frozen (I know you are acclimated but I'm a cold wimp)

Ron and I are going to Cuba on my two year anniversary of hip surgery.

Oh, how wonderful...you will have so much fun...and be so warm!

I have a pal that is on the long list to get her hip done and I've pushed her your way.

You know she's in good hands.

Life is good!

Yes it is! Do take care, friend.
