This is the way! I hope your healing arm continues to improve and get stronger each week. I know it's a long, frustrating process. I remember the dreaded physio multiple x per day. So hard and tedious but it eventually gets better. Here's my before and after from June 2018; distal spiral fracture.

Two xrays pictured. One showing a humerus broken in two. One showing it back together with a rod and pins.

Wondering if there is anywhere in NB one can buy a pawpaw tree. I got these two last summer in Lunenburg, but one did not survive my neglect this winter and two are needed to get fruit.

Two pots pictured; one with a small pawpaw tree with four new leaves and the other just the stem of a dead pawpaw.

I asked the Tourism NB chatbot to plan a trip to Miramichi for a weekend. I could be wrong, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a kayak on the Miramichi River in March. Not sure if Miramichi River Boat Tours is running in March. Seems unlikely.

Art is healing, and trying something new is inspiring💛✨️
