We're on the Move to Mesa

Tomorrow, we're relocating to Mesa for the balance of our time in AZ and plan to be back in Alberta by the end of March. That's the short story...

The long story...

Our intention, when we arrived here, was to leave Apache Junction at the end of February to spend some time with friends Mike & Betty south of Tucson before heading home. Tragically Mike had a major heart event and has been hospitalised in the Phoenix area since the beginning of February. When we went to extend our stay, we learned that our spot had been rented out already and that there were no other spots in this Park. Before the new management, our spot would have been kept vacant until we checked out! A staffer with our new Park management company located another spot in Mesa (they are a rare commodity during March, apparently). This way we will be able to continue our connections to our local activities and to visit Mike as he rehabs with his wife (she's an ccupational therapist) at an RV Park in NW Phoenix.

We were planning to move on Sunday Feb 26 but rain is, once again, forecasted for that day so we will use the dry conditions tomorrow for our move.

Monitoring Mom

Rose Lynn's Mom (will be 100, May5th) was taken to a hospital in Kitchener Ontario to have a nagging cough checked out. After a few hours she was moved back to her retirement resident only to suffer being dropped as her stretcher was removed from the transport vehicle .

(!!!!😢😟😨😧😭😱). 

So it was back to the hospital with a black eye and possible neck injury; 

there were no fractures and she has since been admitted where she is resting, finally!

This has been a stressful time as we take care of business.
