GA! Little town flower basket Appreciation Note.

Back in BC. Mom’s doing well after her hip replacement surgery and relieved to be home. Two more weeks of easy movements then the physio starts. 🦾

Sketching the accessible bathroom of our hotel room.

5⭐️ for the shower bench, wall bar, and ability to use a hand-held shower head.

3.5⭐️ for the law-defined 17” toilet (regular is 15”) because it’s not high enough for my mom at 84 years old and definitely not high enough-post hip replacement surgery.

5⭐️ for Amazon Canada for delivering a toilet cushion* riser seat the day Mom was discharged from the surgical center.

* use the search term “cushion” if you need a toilet rise that uses straps/suction cups/etc to attach to the toilet seat vs. something that replaces the toilet seat and has to bolt onto the toilet with hardware.

GM! Sketching the hotel room while I wait for the call to pick up Mom from the surgical center.

Her hip replacement surgery went well - had a call from the surgeon and the nurse yesterday. Mom’s got a morning physio session, a set of X-rays, and then I’ll get a call.

GM - taking my mom in for hip replacement surgery this morning. Should go fine: she’s healthy, only has one half-pill medication, and wants to get this done so she can hike the mountain and tend to her garden again. ⛰️👩🏼‍🌾

First jigsaw puzzle of this trip completed! 🦅

This came to us via the puzzle group, so someone had already finished it, and separated the pieces into 3 parts. Usually Mom and I mix everything together, but we left the pieces segmented and did one part at a time because we only had a week to finish it.

Even parsed into segments, this was a tough puzzle. Lots of little wingtips and similar colors and patterns.

New animal sighting on this morning’s walk. I knew there were deer on the mountain, but this is the first time I’ve seen one so close to the road.

It was far more interested in the Saskatoon berries than me, so I walked past and by the time I came down the same way, it was gone.

If you go through Vancouver airport and want a high-end macaron, Ladurée is the place to go. Bought myself a few days’ worth of treats to have with the tea Boyfriend gave me for my trip.

Spending the next 6-8+ weeks with my mom for her hip replacement surgery and rehab.
