My 2023 Birthday Wish for CHEO
We DID it! We have now collectively given over eleven thousand dollars worth of gifts to kids receiving in patient treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario aka CHEO! Thank you for helping me celebrate my birthday every spring with such a kind gesture. You ROCK!

Hip Surgery at 37 Years Old
My arthritic/dysplastic hip had a good run but now, it’s time to get an upgrade. At 37 years old, I’ve had a total hip replacement at the Ottawa Hospital (General) and this is my story from one week pre-op to the main event and recovery process. It’s updated regularly. Hoping to share my experience for others who find themselves on a similar path.



Summer's End
Late August update on my life… What’s been going on with my health, at work and with the cottage this season. Overall, everything is pretty awesome but that awesomeness does not come easy.
