New Adventure

Well it is time for a new adventure. After 6 years working on the wild west coast of Vancouver Island I am off for a new adventure. Right now I don't know what that is so my stuff is in storage while I try and find the new job. 

Photos taken at a health fair out in Zeballos. Put on by Ehattesaht.

NIHB Table

Kids learning CPR

Rhonda learning to salute

Kids interested in knowing their random blood sugars

Even the RCMP got their Glucose checked

Not sure if Steven is really afraid of needles or not but his auntie was on hand to hold his hand.

Even the paramedics came to get checked to bad Sue was feeling horrible also.....

Some tables were more of a hit than others.

Feb. 20 2013

Well we had a teaser of a spring yesterday it was sunny and blue sky.  Today well winter seems to be back it snowing and sticking.  yuck..... Can we have a snow day???????

one more reserve

There are 4 First Nation communities in the region I work and for 5 years I have only been going to 3 of them.  VIHA was taking care of the fourth.  Well near the end of last year the fourth was added to my work load, maybe partly as we had no RN doing home care for the region just me.  So I have been out twice so far to the new community.  We now have an RN working in the region so we will how long I will remain going out to all 4 communities.  It in theory could be taken away from me again. 

End Of Janunary

Well it's the end of January and we still have snow on the ground from December's big snow dump.  Another month of possible big dumps then maybe it any snow won't be too bad.  I really like rain........
