~ I still have as of this very minute, 687 emails in my inbox to deal with. Some are very important but most require a reply that I have no time for. Two blockages by banks and a credit card have been over the top to deal with. In fact I have yet to go thru all the notes that I took while in the hospital on other issues of which I am certain some are important. My family just found out two days ago about the stroke. Much as I want to contact you all I just can’t.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The girls take turns being on Colin’s lap. 24\/7! They change out every 5 -6 hours. They know something is not right and love their Dad! \u00a0Carlie is licking Colins wrist here.<\/p><\/div>\n

~ I am now sleeping in the same sheets for 30 days, who wants to come and help me change my bedding? I am not capable of doing it on my own. I am still having trouble just getting in and out of the RV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

~ waiting for tropical storm Alvin. It has been cloudy since we woke up. Just in the past hour it is darkening. Light winds and at one point we had a mini Maui shower.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

~ Octavio is pleased with Colins progress in the past 36 hours. Not quite back to where he was before his relapse. But to me Colin is looking more like his old self today.<\/p>\n

~ 4:30PM and almost done my daily chores, have another poop pick up and trash run. Have to lock the gate which I hate as it is so rusty but it needs to be done. Only two visitors today but tomorrow we are expecting six!! \u00a0Once Dallas delivers the pizza tomorrow afternoon I plan to lock the gate until Monday morning. Wish I had more keys to hand out to people who come in daily, would make my life easier. No one does key cutting here on the Isla.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

~ just an FYI, someone asked about us driving at night in Mazatlan & someone else about daytime driving – once we move to Las Jaibas. Neither of us will be driving, I can’t because I can’t see properly and Colin can’t make his right foot or ankle move so he can’t drive. For that matter he is unable to play the guitar. At least he now has his speech back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

~ I don’t understand why so many are telling us to go back to Canada? Please explain that to me! Okay so yes we would have to hire someone to drive the RV back. Colin would have to fly as it too much of a drive for him at this point. So who sets him up in the empty house we have back in Kelowna. Who would look after him. All of our things and that is everything we need to live and function with, are in the RV. Then who would unload all of that and re set up a home there. Neither of us ( Colin’s \u00a0primary decision ) want to live there. We love living in this RV – even if he can’t drive it anywhere – we love our location. \u00a0We still would need help buying groceries and getting transportation to a medical appointment. Then there is the medical system. My very special friend in Kelowna has waited close to 2 full years for knee surgery. Sadly this is the new Canadian system, we used to be known for our medical care, no longer. Here I can text a doctor and have him call us immediately. No wait to see a cardiologist or a neurologist, medical tests done right away. A top notch physiotherapist for only $40.00CAD per one hour visit who brings the equipment needed here to us. Blood work done here in the RV for only $20.00 CAD for that service. \u00a0Our own doctor coming to visit us here – tomorrow – \u00a0for only $43.00CAD for the visit. If we don’t want to go back why should we go? How will it make our life better?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

All packed up for the storm and for the move to Las Jaibas.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Anything left will go into the RV or the Jeep. Except for the 38 plant pots….they will stay.<\/p><\/div>\n

~ yes we have some unusual challenges such as the power being cut last Wednesday- because someone forgot to ay the electrical bill! It was back on within a few hours. The water truck stopped delivery because they thought we had gone – easily rectified.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Ciela does her own thing during the day but is glued to Colin at night.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

~ still waiting for the storm. \u00a0Enjoying the cooler ( still hot and sticky but much more pleasant ) \u00a0breezes!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This the very special sunset that I missed last night. Colin was right – he said that Dallas would be sure to capture it and he did. Gracis Dallas.<\/p><\/div>\n
