210809 Mumma comes home seeking help.

 August 9

We have come home to Toronto to get Mumma taken care of. We drove in on Saturday; 700 kilometres: K did most of the driving; traffic was light and uneventful. I feel so relieved to be here, in the safety of my own home, with Tamar and Nick to look after us.

The doctor will see me today at 6 pm. I want to have some solution in place for tonight and have some diagnostic tests underway. There is a tendency to feel like a child in the hands of one's medical community, waiting on their time, their authority, to get information and results.

Typical August in Toronto, humid, the air palpable, heavy with moisture, the sky hazy, a warm soupy wind stirring the trees, and the threat of a developing thunderstorm. 

It is lovely to see Indre and Robin. They are well and enjoying their summer after their challenging but successful school year of virtual classes. 

*****

I love driving into Toronto on Highway 401,  its eighteen-lane, life-blood main artery crossing the top of the city east to west: a  river of humanity, flowing endlessly, always burgeoning, racing, purposeful. Highway 401 is North America's busiest highway, and forms part of the Trans-Canada Highway system - very cool. *

Keep well.

Mumma Yaga
