Our Waterloo


Here we are in the land of buggies, bonnets and Blackberries…..and brrrr.  It’s cold : 10 C.  Flight was good, Carol and dogs are fine.  We visited Nana/Myrtle this morning at Columbia Forest Home and took her for a drive.  Pretty straightforward if you don’t count the gong show in the car, when we mistakenly (honest!) disconnected her monitor.  A disembodied voice loudly yelled “Don’t get out of your (wheel)chair!  Don’t get out of your chair! , whilst the alarming alarm sounded “ beep beep beep”. Technology has taken over.   I guess we had the staff totally confused.  We will know better next time.
Well, next time was that same afternoon.  And we were much more cool this time - no mistakes.  Doug took us for a very lovely (second) drive through New Dundee and Victoria Park.  We stopped for a yummy Iced Cappaccino, which Myrt proclaimed was "good to the last drop". No alarms, no mis-steps. We are Masters of the Long Term Care Universe.
