September 23, Rosenfeld news by Tina Wolfe
The weather used to play a big part of what I would do every day but not anymore. If the sun is shining I’ll make a point of sitting in the sunshine and if it’s cloudy I’ll still sit by the window and watch the flock of geese on the field. Either way the days are filled with activities and because I know I can’t go outside the weather holds no power over me. Strange how a person’s life changes in a split second.
Baby announcement
The Rosenfeld community would like to welcome our newest resident with pink ribbons. Anjelica Zacharias arrived on August 27 at a nice weight of 4 kilo – 21 grams at Boundary Trails. Hector, Jaime and Victor were very excited to greet their baby sister on her arrival home. Proud parents are Bertha and Martin Zacharias of Rosenfeld and maternal grandma, Maria Loewen, paternal grandma, Sadie Zacharias of Mexico.
Thoughts and prayers
Condolences go out to John and Brenda Wiebe and their children on the tragic death of John’s brother, Danny Wiebe. The funeral service was held Thursday, Sept. 19. The community would like to send our thoughts and prayers to the Wiebe family. John and Brenda were called away from their four week European vacation which celebrated their 25 years of marriage to attend the family tragedy.
Entertainment
Being in the hospital is never a choice and can be a very difficult phase in one’s life. Boundary Trails staff must be commended for not only the physical care but the activities provided to prevent boredom from setting in. Last week Wednesday turned out to be a music day with five lovely ladies, one on the piano and four with accordions providing a variety of musical numbers. They played for nearly an hour after which we were served coffee and homemade cookies. Not long after in walked another lady carrying a guitar case. She began by taking requests and I must admit to being star struck. Her voice could very easily be on the air alongside Dolly Parton, Emmy Lou Harris or Linda Ronstadt. Her name is Jess Reimer and she and her husband Jeremy Hamm live in La Riviere. She collaborated with producer Bob Wiseman, a former member of Blue rodeo, and produced a record under a Winnipeg label Pipe & Hat this year. Her voice is pure, strong and it was a pleasure to hear her do some Loretta Lynn.
Progress report
I am growing stronger every day and am improving with the overall balancing act of walking on one leg. The left leg is in a brace from top to bottom and the foot is encased in an air-boot so all it is good for is a bit of balance. Sitting down when using a walker is a bit tricky because there is no bending that left leg. I had another day pass this past Sunday and did not want to go back to the hospital. Dave is a bit hesitant of my coming home but a lot can happen in one week. I have an appointment for the removal of the neck brace this coming Thursday and then going home to stay is very possible. The support from family and friends is just phenomenal and is absolutely a morale booster.
