Ladies who lunch

Carolyne went out to lunch today with five lovely ladies, three of whom had retired a few years ago. Retirement has not aged them at all. More relaxed than ever.

Had a great time. It is wonderful seeing everyone again.

Knee adventures V - Goodbye Fracture Clinic

Today was my last appointment at the Fracture Clinic. Physiotherapy is going so well, he does not want to see me again. I am walking with no brace, no crutches, and mostly no cane. I only use the cane in situations where I want people to not bump me.

I gave up my "medical" parking pass at work earlier this week. I felt like an imposter using it. I did wish I had it today when I was walking through a downpour.

My shoulder is still bad, but my back is good, so more massage on the neck and shoulder. I am glad I am not to the end of my benefits allotment yet :)

SLA 2008 - Permission Granted

Technorati Tags:

 

I received official permission to attend SLA in Seattle!!

Since I also provide library services to a group in Wilsonville OR (just south of Portland) I will be rolling two trips into one. Flying into Seattle early, driving to Portland for a few days, driving back for the conference.

I am excited. I have not been to SLA for a few years. I always find it inspiring, energizing, and educational. I booked myself into the conference hotel before I had travel approval which was a good  thing as I have a room in the centre of the activity. My knee has been very troublesome so the less walking the better, especially on all those hills.

I have already send an email to those I know asking if they are going as well. It is never too early to plan dinner with friends.

I have been over the programme a few times and have so many conflicts with all the sessions I want to attend, it will be hard to finalize anything. It may come down to walking distance. It just gives me more incentive to be extra diligent about the physiotherapy!
