Travis and I are enjoying the Ottawa summer in our new home.  We have been dealing with a plethora of Dr's visits.  I will be receiving a right AFO (ankle-foot-orthosis) to help me avoid tripping and to be able to continue to go on walks.  I am also ordering a power wheelchair (Heather doesn't like me calling it the electric chair!!!).  I am very lucky as I am getting the super convenient portable power chair that fits in the trunk of the car, as well as a permanent more heavy duty chair that has a tilt function.  The tilt function is to help support my trunk muscles and to not put too much pressure on my back.
We have also decided to change real estate agents and will be re-listing our condo next Wednesday, sadly at a much lower price due to the terrible saturated condo market currently in Ottawa.  Hopefully the change will work for us.
I had a great time visiting with my clients and staff of CMHA during the annual CD BBQ.  I have also been staying in touch with friends, thanks for lunch MF, and got to meet the adorable Maia!
Today I booked a Helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon for our girl's trip to Vegas, can't wait!

So glad you're enjoying the best of Ottawa this summer! Am still so surprised no one has scooped up your amazing condo and made it their happy home already.

And: thank you - just can't handle the thought of you going to the electric chair: too many prison novels!

xxoo until soon (hooray for twice this month!)

Interestingly friend Philip Noble (Trav will remember him) phoned to say he and Sue had just returned from a trip to Las Vegas (Sue was nominated to attended a conference on behalf of her school.) They went on to spend 3 days in Grand canyon, which included a trip down the river on a raft, Philip having done the river 40 years earlier in his big OE days. He commented that the river has a lot less water than back then. Glad its warm up your way, chilly down here.
