Well, the farmers are still waiting. A few had cut down their canola but not before the heavy -6 frost last week. The leaves look beautiful when the sun actually hits them which isn't often. Yesterday it did reach over 25 degrees and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Matt ha been under the weather to and found out he had another severe urinary tract infection. He started antibiotics last week and they have been working really well this time. He even felt good enough to go to Jacki and Gary's this weekend to help watch the kids while Jacki played ball.
Poor Gary, we found out that the extended pain from his Achilles was not just man's inability to take pain, but was actually a blood clot. His physiotherapist had suggested he go to ER and good thing he did. They found the clot on ultrasound so he is off work for a while. Gary also has to give himself heparin shots to thin his blood and be on oral blood thinners. Prayers that the area will heal and praise that they caught it before the clot became loose and travel to an area that could have caused serious problems.
Moday Matt had his shoulder taped again by the private physiotherapist. It has been bothering him so much that there are times when no pain medication helps. We are hoping this will help and if it does, we will buy the special tape that is needed. The tape is super expensive so we don't want to buy it unless we know it will work.
Nolan has a few weeks off work and it has been nice to have him around. It is good for Matt, who is surrounded mostly by women all the time. Has some testosterone in his corner for a change, especially with dad still here.
The kids are having some adjustments going to school this year, especially for Jonmarie who has the same skills at math her mother does...none! So extra homework at night. We are trying to make it fun and it must be working because she always wants to play store when she gets home!
Thanks to all who still read the blog after so many years and will continue to update on Matt's progress.

Hi Matthew and all. Sorry to hear you are a little under the weather. Hope you are feeling better real soon. Yes it is nice to have your brother around-more help for you to take a round out of all the women around you. Ha!
Combining has been going good for the last few days. The forecast is for three or four more days of sun. We are about 70% done and need another two weeks or more of sunny weather (and not a drop of rain). One of our young fellows that help us with harvest just left to go to his great-uncle's funeral. He was killed in a farm accident near Foxford. All you farmers, be extra careful everywhere.
Hope Gary is also feeling better soon and so glad they found the blood clot in time.
Take care and thank you so much Shelley for keeping us updated.
Love Auntie Sandy
