Hopeful turn of events. 

Dr. M had Bernard brought by ambulance a week ago to the Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, BC.  That’s about an hour from here, including a ferry ride.  He was moved from the house to the ambulance through the tremendous snow and up the hill on a gurrney - a bit of a challenge, but the two woman on the job were pros. 

He arrived safely at the hospital and was brought directly to his room, thanks to being pre-admitted by the doctor. 

A crazy winter storm began right after we arrived and I had to stay in Nelson that night because the roads were impossible.  I stayed at this great hostel on Baker Street called The Dancing Bear Inn.  It’s better, frankly, than most hotels.

So, the testing begins, again.
