The first thing we did this morning was take a trip to the hospital to remove my cast. Yeah! After an assessment, I was told to take care when walking, to wrap my ankle with Tensor Bandages, and to wear a supportive walking shoe for the next couple of weeks. From the Brandon Hospital it was off to St. George`s Anglican Church where I caught the tail-end of the service and had an opportunity to spread the message of Cycle to Walk with the Reverend Jim Brown and his parishioners. Thanks to everyone at St. George`s for your donations and for supporting the Cycle to Walk. For lunch, Linda treated the team on behalf of the Post Polio Network of Manitoba, and this evening we were invited to a BBQ at Reverend Jim and Jackie Brown`s house. Today felt like a real rest day. We relaxed and visited with our new friends, but we were still able to spread the message of Cycle to Walk.
