The Seniors

By
Jim and I drove my parents up to Aunt Jackie and Uncle Bern's the other night for a dinner party. We only stayed for a drink then left to join friends for dinner. We came back about 3 hours later to pick them up. Uncle Bob and Joan were there as well as Nora and Rudy, Mike and Karen and Uncle Dan. Everyone had a good time and of course Aunt Jackie made a nice dinner. I discovered that this year (October)Uncle Mike will officially be a senior citizen! Dad said Uncle Rudy seemed good. He is still able to drive which I am sure helps keep his spirits up. I only saw them briefly but except that he was attached to oxygen, he looked good to me.

What's wrong with Uncle Rudy? I didn't hear anything. I hope he's o.k.

Hi Christy:
Back in October, I think, Uncle Rudy had a mild heart attack. He really should have bypass surgery but has a problem with his lungs (asbestosis?) and is not a good candidate for the procedure. They were able to do an angioplasty on one artery and may be able to do another one at a later date. He is using oxygen at all times but seems to be managing very well and is getting good reports from his doctor.

Thanks Debbie. I didn't want to reply because I didn't know the details. Thanks for clarifying this for everyone and lets hope Uncle Rudy feels better soon.

Bochsler Family Update

By
Last week I tried to "encourage" my family to post to this blog. I sent them all TERRIBLE pictures of themselves and threatened to post them here if they didn't post their own. Although they all responded soon enough to my threat, nobody has updated this blog yet. To be fair, this sort of thing is easier for me to do so I'll give a general update on the family. I won't post those nasty pictures just yet, because I'm sure there are some of me floating around and I don't want to start a war. You may remember there are 6 kids, in order of age: Mark, Colleen, Paul, David, Kathleen & Kevin. Hearing it listed like that reminds me of being called for dinner. :) Mom and Dad (Maureen and Al) are both in good health and living in that big house you remember in Ancaster. The house and property itself would look very different to many of you as my Dad's projects have really transformed the place. There are no more big willow trees (and no more treehouse!) :( ...
