Where winding roads, rusty rails, iffy health and lean budget meet the calm
(Jumping the queue; Many posts will come in a different sequence to our itinerary – D)
It’s Day 47 (Fri, June 30) of our adventure and only 200 or so kilometres ahead we will arrive at our turn-around destination. Continue reading “Haines Junction, YT”
Fall colours in Ontario are always spectacular, due to the many hues of the maple and other trees. The cooler weather Continue reading “Lake Erie North Shore”
This video was shot on June 10 almost 3 months ago. It is Alex’s vlog that complements the Box Car Jimmie blog post.
This video complements the Prince Edward Island blog post. We spent a few days in Cavendish and North Rustico on the Atlantic coast of Canada’s smallest province. Continue reading “Prince Edward Island”
10:46pm, June 27. It’s still half an hour before departure. I’ve found my reserved seat. There’s a reasonable distance between seats, but not 6’ (2m). Only about 25% of the passengers in here are masked. Continue reading “From the ferry”
Alex’s take on our last stops in QC for now (because we still have to come back😉): Continuing our leisurely journey towards Newfoundland: after a wet couple of nights in Montmagny, Continue reading “Montmagny to Le Bic, QC”
A short video from our camping in the rain (Montmagny, Quebec). The rain was extremely heavy and we were happy we didn’t have to drive that day. More will come with a post Diana is working on.
On Wed Oct 6 I was home for the first time in a month, having been discharged from my unplanned all-inclusive vacation in hospital. I’d been well-taken care of 24/7 by teams of nurses, Continue reading “Being absent”
Wed Oct 6
D is for discharge (from hospital, that is) (Oh, and here am I thinking D is for Diana😊 – D). The previous night I had slept better than I had in days. Having only two washroom breaks, and no pain meds was a big win. Continue reading “D-day”
Sat Oct 2 and Sun Oct 3

Will Alex get the g-tube inserted today or will it have to be done by a different doctor next week? That was the question on my mind in the morning. The doctor scheduled to do the job was going to be off work for a week as of the end of the day. Continue reading “First chemo and a G-tube”
Thu Sep 23
My hematologist called. He was actually on vacation but had been contacted with the results and had immediately done some research and called me. The results of the spinal tap were conclusive, Continue reading “Watershed day”
Thu Sep 16
The MRI results are in. Like all the other tests I’d had, the results were negative. Sigh. “Now what?”, I thought. I wished I hadn’t asked. I’ll be given a spinal tap on Monday (the 20th). Continue reading “I don’t want to go through this”
