July update

A man on a mission......Go Gord!!


Once again time has passed by so quickly that I realized I have not written on the blog for over a month! I notice I start to get more phone calls checking up on us when the blog is not updated so I thank everyone who checks in on us.

Gord has been busy running around in his new "Gord Cart" picking up the mail, visiting neighbours, being a delivery guy and whatever else I can think of to keep him from getting bored. This is a full time job....

We visited a consultant last week who I was hoping would give me more of an update on how Gord is progressing but he basically just said I was doing a good job and not much else. I was looking for some good solid advice on where to go from here and did not really get it so I have turned to other resources. We had an acupuncture treatment 2 days ago and will continue on a weekly basis along with chiropractic help to get the muscles etc. straightened out so perhaps Gord will walk a little better. He still needs to trust his right side for support.

Of course along with the walking etc. we will continue to work on his right arm. Still nothing.

We attended a very bittersweet occasion a few weeks ago when we traveled to a funeral service for a co worker of Gord's at Spartan Controls. He was the same age as Gord and tragically passed away quite soon after a cancer diagnosis. Gord has been deeply affected by this event and rightly so. He questions why he is still alive and others are not. A universal question....I am not equipped to answer...

So as the Summer tries to move along with all it's setbacks of RAIN and more RAIN, we also move along and try to fill the days. I hope everyone is managing to enjoy their Summer holidays...

Take care,

Love
