Home for the Weekend!!

The big news this time is that we were home to Gravelbourg and the farm on the weekend! We arranged to have the bandages changed at our own St Joseph's hospital and were able to attend church at our home congregation. Stan surprised them all by walking up to the front unassisted and was able to say his thankyous in person to everyone. It was wonderful to be with you all there!
It is bittersweet to go back to the farm and see that things have progressed as they should without us. My garden gave us a few treats to bring back to the city and did well at supplying some veggies for the harvest effort. The crops had done beyond our expectations and Stan was able to ride on his combine for about an hour. Monday was damp and the Canada Food Grain Bank Project harvest was postponed. We would have enjoyed seeing a bit of that as well, maybe next year.
We are off to the hospital appointment tomorrow with the plastic surgeon to have the vacuum bandage put on to speed the healing under Stan's arm.. The difference from two months down to possibly two weeks.
We look at our return to Saskatoon positively as a return to progress as he gets stronger and accepts the help he needs in his recovery.
Love, Stan and Maxine
