Day Three is Done

Not too interesting day but we did get to see the beauty of the shoreline of Ontario's Lake Superior - by far the largest of the Great Lakes in North America. Did have one surprise today... this morning we slowed down the car suddenly as a black bear was standing by edge of road. One we stopped the bear scampered across the road and into the bush.

We travelled over 700 kilometres (450 miles for US readers) ending the day on the west side of Lake Superior at Thunder Bay.

We keep getting reports on how our son-in-law is doing. We remain hopeful but know he is not 'out of the woods yet'. We have decided to make a detour on our way into Regina - our final destination. Monday morning we will drive from wherever we stay Sunday night to Saskatoon where our son-in-law remains in hospital. We've heard it may be many days until he comes home from the hospital.

It's Set

Got call the other day telling me radial surgery is Friday June 26th...looking forward to it with mixed anticipation.. on the one hand the procedure offers complete 'relief' from periodic numbness/tingling in left hand..on the other hand side effects may be annoying and a bit frightening... but have been assured medication can control/reduce unwanted side effects...

On balance glad it is earlier rather than later.....
