The dish washer repairman showed up today (just 5 days after the breakdown), quickly pronounced the motor on the 1-year-old machine pooched, and phoned for a new one... which would have to come from Toronto by truck! Fortunately, he was back a few hours later to replace the dead soldier and then we were able to load our reanimated appliance with a full day's worth of dirty crap. Vicki had had the foresight to get a 5-year warranty in 2009 when she bought our dish washer and range, so this visit cost us nothing. The technician kindly informed us the bill would've been over $300 had the machine been out of warranty.
Vicki's ice-bound injury, on the other hand, won't benefit from any such quick fix. She's scheduled to start physio on her shoulder tomorrow. At the moment she can lift her right arm up at most about 40 degrees from her hip. She did take our 2-month old car out for a drive today to make sure she could handle it in her condition, which she never would have been able to if we still owned a manual transmission vehicle, as we had for the past 20+ years. She did very well putting it into gear, cornering and stopping... so she's approved for future driving.
It's been a trying week so far, but it's almost over now, right? Right??
