Hello from the farm!

Hi there.
Well, we just got back from our Saskatoon run and Stan was able to see the new physical therapist yesterday. She has had a lot of experience with shoulder mobilty and also with skin grafts! That is interesting because up until now, Stan hasn't been told anything about improving the quality of the skin graft site with stretching excersises and massage. We have another appointment next week. This appointment was basically assessment and adding a few new exercises to the existing list. We will need to decide if we can work it out to see her only once a month and Stan just do a great job of strength training on his own in between. With family and especially with new babies in Saskatoon, once a month sounds like a reasonable plan to me! There may be a possibilty after a few months of checking in with a physio closer to home but for now, they need us to keep on the city files incase we need follow up appointments with specialists in Saskatoon.

Stan is out working some sloughs with the disker and I smell of smoke from a few hours of clearing off my garden. Life seems to be returning to normal on the Bell farm.
Love, Stan and Maxine :-)
