Day 319 June 20 2015 to Day 327
June 28 2015 Kenora
Ontario
My mom came from her
apartment in town to stay with us at the camp.
We went to visit my dad in Pinecrest and I was expecting to find a man
that was in bad condition with not much mobility. I was delighted to discover that after almost
dying several times in the past few months and spending almost 10 months in the
hospital he was again eating well and mobile.
We picked him up on a daily basis to spend the day at the camp. I went fishing a few times and the pickerel
were biting well. We moved some
furniture and other supplies to my mom’s apartment as well as shampooed her
couch. Evy and I went out for a few
beers with Frank and Don, a couple of friends that I had not seen in many years
and their wives. The kids spent quite a
bit of time swimming and we went on a few quad rides. These days were also the saddest of the
sabbatical. On the 25th Evy
and I went to visit my best friend in Winnipeg. Tony had a brain hemorrhage at the end of
May and had been in the hospital ever since.
When we got to the hospital I showed him a few pictures from the trip
and talked to Agnes. After a few hours
Evy and I went for coffee with Agnes.
When we got back to the room there were 3 nurses repositioning Tony and
when I looked at him he was white. I
said to Evy that does not look good. A
few seconds latter his wife said his fingers are turning blue followed by a
nurse saying his lips are blue. The room
filled with 4 doctors and lots of nurses all trying to revive Tony but it was all
to no avail. A few weeks earlier we had
been planning on going fishing together in Kenora in June but unfortunately it
was not to be. Evy and I spent the night
with Agnes and went to the airport to pick up her son in the morning. During the remaining days in Kenora I did a
few jobs such as repairing the clothes line and a few other odds and ends.
