Back from my hiatus

Way back in September I had foot surgery - I had a bunion removed from my right foot. As per doctor's orders - no driving, no working, no gym, no walking for six weeks. This pretty well left me house bound. I ventured to very few places while my foot healed.  I had my weekly visits to see Dr. Nadal, the podiatrist who performed the surgery. He changed the bandages and checked to foot to see how it was healing. No coins found during these visits. I did a lot of hobbling around the house. Not a lot of lost coins in the house.

My daughter, who attends the University of Ottawa, was home for Thanksgiving weekend. We were driving her back (I couldn't drive but went along for the ride). Before the drive back home, we decided to get a bite to eat.  I was dropped off in front of restaurant (couldn't walk far and it was raining and I didn't want to get my bandage wet. It was near the restaurant in the Byward Market that I found a 2007 dime.

A couple weeks later, we went to a friend's cottage in Tiny Township. My ability to walk at this point had improved so we went on a quick walk to the beach. (My walking was kept to a minimum as my foot hurt if I walked too much). My dog had a great time. I let her off leash and let her run. Glad she didn't go in the water. It was there I found a  2010 nickel. The dog was checking something out; I went to get her and spotted the dime on the beach. And no, she wasn't checking out the coin, not sure what she was checking out.
