In Jan or Feb of 07. Looks like Grant has gotten his security clearance. He has heard that he is on the list for the next course to run in September but he hasn't signed anything yet so he doesn't want to believe it until he see's it in writing.
I will miss Kingston. We are pretty much established here. If Grant has the choice of staying in Kingston he's going to take it :)
I hope so! I was accepted into another customs border agent competition. I got a letter in the mail asking me to come and write the test. Since I've already passed the test I just had to fax in verification. I did so now I'm just waiting to see if I get an interview. I have a really good chance at getting once..This competition requires only english. If I end up getting the job, hopefully I can be transfered. If not, well, we'll cross that bridge if and when we come to it.

Eeww Gross
I've got a gross big toe. I have an ingrown toenail. I have cream to put on it but if that doesn't get better than I have to have half of the toenail cut off. YIKES>
My uncle
My Uncle Teddy (mom's brother) is in the hospital here in Kingston. He's been there for the past two weeks. He was rushed to the hospital in Bancroft because he was in really bad pain and was incoherant. They than sent him to KGH. My uncle is a very stubborn man and he keeps a lot to himself. He found out he has an aneurysm in his stomach but didn't tell anymore. It is now 6.5 cm...
His sheets at home had some blood stains on it and he was sleeping a lot and not eating. He lost something in the range of 30 lbs in a month.
It turns out that he has a bleeding ulcer and that was why he was bleeding. He aneursym isn't causing any problems just yet but the doctors will not do any surgery because the rate of surviving the surgery is minimal now.
My uncle has been taking tylenol to relieve pain for the longest time and that has finally taken it's toll on the liver. He also had tylenol poisoning.
He got an infection of his blood from a pik line he had in his arm. It is better now too.
The hardest thing for me to deal with is how very confused he is. He was very lucid and with it before he went into the hospital. Now he mumbles away and gets our names messed up. He'll spout off sentences that we have no idea what he is talking about. The doctor said that it might have been caused by the blood that he lost. The brain was lacking oxygen and it might have been too late when they gave him a blood tranfusion. It could be from the poisoning. And the doctor also said they might talk to the neurology dept and maybe take a cat scan of the brain as he might have had a stroke.
He will not be allowed to go back to his home unless he fully recovers. He will have to be put in the Manor in Bancroft.
I hope everything goes well with this.
