Mel is not having a good day!

She got into the doctor today for a follow-up concerning her wrist. The last ex-rays she had showed her wrist was doing well – unfortunately this set said something quite different. Apparently her wrist has not healed at all and so she is essentially where she was back in June when she fell.

She needs to have surgery in October and they will screw her wrist in place then she will have to wear a cast then graduate into a removable cast. She will likely be off work for 3-4 weeks.

She recently found out that she needs to do 3 courses to graduate in February with the rest of her class – she had forgotten about one she didn’t pass early on that needs to be completed.

So, between her wrist, full time work (or not!), 3 courses and planning for a May wedding, she is a bit stressed out and I don’t blame her a bit.

Steve took my mom’s car in for an out-of-province inspection so we could give it to Mel. He found out it needs about $1,600 of work – new rotors, brakes, gas tank (there is a leak from rust in the current one!) and I don’t know what else. Mel had planned to pay for whatever it needed but I don’t think that will happen now. I guess this might be our wedding present to her now – just a bit early but there you go.
