Broken Wrist and not much else...
I'm feeling alot better. The pain is pretty much gone, i went to the hospital yesterday, and they put a new cast on which is alot comfier, i have heaps more movement of my fingers and my wrist isn't bent. The specialist is really happy with the position of my bones, and i am going back on the 3rd of January to get the cast off. which will only be 4 weeks, yay! i really do hate having it on. I"m going down to chat to my boss this afternoon, i really need to start working. now my arm is feeling better, and dick said that there is no way i couldn't do the work with one arm.
Housekeeping sounds pretty cruisey. The only bad thing is cos it's still early in the season and school holidays haven't started yet, there isn't much work around. Dick only worked 2hours today. he's been scoring a fair bit of food though. The way it works is, instead of tips, people leave all left over food and alcohol out and the houskeepers divy it up. Him and his team found a pizza yesterday in the fridge, so they cooked it in the apartment and sat down and had lunch in the apartment they were cleaning. really doesn't sound stressful at all.
So for those of you who i haven't heard the story, i broke my wrist snowboarding. i fell over at the end of an easy run, caught an edge and fell onto my wrist, that gave way then i whacked my head. (so glad i was wearing a helmet). the ski patrol came found me and put it in a splint. It was all very dramatic and painful. This happened at about 12.50, i was meeting dick at home for lunch at 1.30. i was looking everywhere for him while they were doing a neuro exam. i wasnt' a very good patient. Then they took me back to the ski-patrol hut which is like a big treatment room. Once they took my jacket off up there, it was obvious to everyone, that it was broken. i was still being very optimistic that it was just a sprain. which they were nice enough to indugle a little. but they were still like, 'promise us you will go to hospital and get an x-ray?' by the time i left the ski-patrol it was about 2.30 and dick had no-idea what had happened. when i got home, he wasn't there, and it turns our he'd gone to hunt down where the ski-patorl hut was because he was sure i'd done something bad. Turns out he'd gone home early because he'd hurt himself, which is why i never found him on the hill. and when i wasn't home at like 1.45pm he apparently was sure i'd done something. stinking mills uncoordinaation, so predictable
From there we caught the staff bus into town and went to the hospital. the doctor took one look at it and said"...ahhh my first wrist fracture of the season'. i hadn't had x-rays at this point and was still positive, and said "hey...you haven't even seen an xray yet, it could just be a sprain" (despite my wrist being at a bit of a angle). he just gave me a sad look and said "oh...sweetie, we see these everyday" turns out it was broken...and bad enough for them to contemplate surgery because the break goes into the joint. After getting an ortho review, they decided they were just going to pull it back into place. so it was that i had my first anaesthetic experience. They first had to put an iv in and the nurse got freaked out when i told him i was a nurse. he got it in first time, then who knows why, decided to let go of it to grab the dressing, and it fell out. he was mortified, i was really nice about it...but seriously what a silly thing to do.
I had propyfol which everyone thought was funny to joke that it was drug that killed Micheal Jackson. wasn't helping my fear of anaesthetic. i was putting on a brave face though, and the whole situation was a bit surreal. the anaesthetic was the strangest thing. it was a conscious sedation, so i can remember saying some things, but i don't remember who was in the room. it was like it blocked some senses but not all of them. really really strange. i have included a video of me just after i had woken up and dick telling me everything. apparently was pretty bad i thrashed around a fair bit, and they needed people to hold me down. like i said don't remember much at all.
Since that we haven't been doing much. turns out there's not much to do at a ski mountain when you can't snowboard or ski or work. cable is my friend.
we are still slowly meeting people. it's hard with me not working, and not having access to the big white fb page, all the time, telling us whats going on...like the today show being here.
we had our christmas party monday. was lots of fun. about 600 people there, all of the big white staff, they did a big christmas dinner. we met some really fun people. there was a DJ there, but it was a bit strange. he was late 30's and had all black on and the long sleeved black shirt was buttoned to the top and he looked like a priest. and there was a guy (about 40 wearing a daggy knit sweater...kinda looked like Callum) standing next to him, nodding his head, pointing at the equipment, and nodding...he was totally trying to be involved. To cap it off the music was like we were at a moogerah dance...cotton-eye-jo, the love shack... we were waiting for the grease mega mix.
not much else to tell, no snow for a while. which basically means that the days have been stunning but the boarding is crap. dick hasn't been out since i broke my wrist cos it's just so icy, and we don't need two invalids.
i caught a cab back up the mountain yesterday, after the hospital (thank-you travel insurance) and the driver asked if there were flying snakes in australia......

Banff, Kelowna and Greyhound
We are just about to leave Kelowna to head to Big White, where we will be working as housekeepers in the resort. we had trouble figuring out transport up there because the shuttle isn't running yet becuase the season doesn't officially start until tomorrow. But the Hostel put us onto a guy who has a van and ferries people up and down the mountian for a donation to charity. ($20 is the suggested rate). He has a business card so he must be legit :) Sure is cheaper then the one bus that runs from the airport for $70 each.
To get to Kelowna we had to endure another Grey Hound Bus trip. the bus was running 1 hour late, which was apparently ok, a lot of other people we have met along the way have been about 6-10 hours behind their schedule. There is really no stories, it's just a miserable way to travel (unfortunately the only really viable option at the moment). You stop in the middle of nowhere, we stopped at one place for a 10 min break and were told., pop and chips in the store, there was a vending machine that was empty except a chap-stick and packet of wet wipes. It was really depressing. Other highlights included the numerous people wihtout teeth, the many people not even hiding the fact they stank of pot, the young guys shirt that read "Party with Sluts". And the douche bag driver who yelled at Dick about labelling your luggage. It was ridiculous. You feel like you are never going to arrive at your destination, and forever be travelling on the stinking bus, stopping at dingy sheds with no food and constantly worrying that your luggage would not get off at the same stop as us.
Kelowna hasn't been too exciting, it's a bit of an ugly town, it feels like somewhere that tried really hard to be posh in the 70's but got filled with pubs and thrift stores instead of cafe's and trendy boutiques. It is by a lake, which today in the sun is really pretty. Everything looks a but dull compared to the stunning Banff. The hostel was always going to be a let down after the posh accommodation that was the Hostel in Banff. We finally booked a double room which was nice to have our own space. We have really been just hanging about, saw a movie last night. nothing too exciting here.
We really loved Banff, it was somewhere where you didn't feel bad sitting on the couch reading a book because, just looking out the window you were surrounded with absolute beauty.
In Banff, we scored one night, we were heading down to the kitchen for a really late dinner, that was going to be cereal. There was a bit of a crowd down there who were American in town for Thanksgiving long weekend. They were havign a feast and wanted us to join them for our first thanksgiving. They were a great group, really funny. We feasted on a BBQ chook, meaty pasta, salad, and delicious baby carrots. tell you what it doesnt sound like much, but at the time it was amazing. They even shared their beer and wine!
We went on a 'pub crawl' in Banff, but we missed the bus, and just went to the last nightclub on their list (the list had 2 pubs on it...) It was a really fun place and we met 2 Canadian girls at the bus stop who were on the list at the club (yes there is a door list at the one club in Banff). So we jumped the queue but still had to pay the cover chargeW we had so much fun Dick didn't even complain about paying a cover charge. The place played really great music, and Dick danced with me all night. We left at a reasonable hour, and when we were leaving together, Dick got a pat on the back by a random stranger, he looked at him, nodded his head, and said 'yeeeh' I couldn't help but be a little chuffed at being worthy of a pat on the back.
We met a lovely German guy at the hostel in Banff and hung out with him alot of the time. He was one of those people who are really quick to laugh, and you just feel really funny hanging around them. He though we were hilarious! it's annoying meeting cool people in the hostels and then realising that you're probably not going to ever see them again. He has done alot of travelling, and we were saying how different it must have been when people didn't all have laptops and facebook. He just said "people used to talk to each other". It was quite a striking comment. And when you looked around the common room that was all you saw, i mean some people just spent the WHOLE time on their computers, chatting on FB, watching movies etc. It really is a bit sad. After that we really made an effort to chat to different people.
Can't wait to get to big white, start work and start being paid.... you sure start chugging though the money when you're not working, Thank - Goodness for my remaining Q-Health holiday pay!! Also can't wait to stop travelling for a while unpack my suitcase and make somewhere home for a few months.

Banff
This update comes from the gorgeous town of Banff. After staying our 5 paid for days in Vancouver we decided to get away from the rain and head to Banff. The Aussie we met in the adventure shop in Vancouver said there could be some job opportunities here for us, so we thought we'd just head here. After an overnight 13hour greyhound bus trip we arrived. Greyhound is dodgier here then in America but is not as dodgy as the Chinatown bus we got from Boston to NY, i swear that toilet had never been cleaned. The Greyhound in the US had Wifi but this one didn't. Which was ok, because we went down to Global that day and used their wifi to download a few Glee episodes :) Dick was embarrassed about publicly watching Glee but he secretly loved it. The security to get on the Greyhound was really full on, there was a security guard who full on searched our carry on bags, taking stuff out and digging around. I thought it was really out of the usual for Canada, and felt more like we were in the US. Found out today that a guy was stabbed and decapitated on a Greyhound bus a couple of years ago, randomly by the guy sitting next to him.. don't feel so violated by security anymore.
The hostel we are staying at is a bit out of the way (you need to catch a bus into town, the hostel gives you a free pass though), but is gorgeous. We were upgraded to the posh building, we are staying in a 4 bed mixed dorm, but one of the beds has a double bottom on it, which is nice after sleeping in separate single beds for the last few days. We have a toilet in the room and then a shower just across the hall. THen the common area is a big high-cielinged area with a big fire place in the middle; very mountain lodge. We were staying in a room with these 2 guys on the first day at the hostel, and we ran into them that day and they said that they had moved rooms becasue the stench was so bad. We seriously can't smell anything, when we said that, he was liek 'i'm pretty sure you're immune to it by now, it was only there after you moved in', so turns out we stink. On the plus we had the room to ourselves that night, and we stole his double bed. Will have to remember that trick for next time we have annoying roomies.
It's been snowing pretty much non-stop since we got here, but the climate has been kind. Although it was getting down to -30 before we got here, the last 2 days have only been down to -5. Today is beautiful and sunny and we can actually see the mountains surrounding us, and they are stunning! it's The Remarkable's on steroids. Turns out there are heaps more mountains surrounding us then i thought there was.
Work wise, we checked out work here, but the medical centre had just hired an RN, but i put my resume in for the reception job they were hiring for. Since then we found out we have interviews at Big White Ski Resort (which is in Kelowna, pretty much halfway between here and Vancouver), for housecleaners. We are pretty certain that pretty much means we have the job. They have said they have staff accomodation as well which is a big bonus, (depending on how much it is), lots of the places charge per person, rather then per room or bed, which is really annoying for us. We also get a season pass for their mountain too. We were really tossing up between, potentially making more money and working in town here in Banff and buying a ski pass for the mountains around here, or going to Big White, not making as much money but actually being on the mountain etc. We have decided we are not here to make money, but to have the full ski experience. So we are heading to Big White next week for the interview next Thursday.
We have finally bought all of our gear aswell. It was quite the process but we are now fully set up snowboarders. We were able to talk our way round a couple of deals which was great,because even though everything is about half the price here then it is back in Aus, it's still expensive. The Aussie we spoke to in Vancouver, that told us about the jobs, used to work at the big adventure store in town here, called ahead, told her old manager we were coming and organised for us to get a great deal.. which was amazing, she was such a nice person. Anyway we were shopping and they kept saying 'don't look too hard and the prices we are going to do you guys a deal etc etc', we had no idea what this 'deal' was, so we bought a fair amount of stuff, but only stuff we probs would have bought anyway. When we went to pay, it didn't seem much cheaper. So i asked what the deal was in the end...I was told we got 10% of everything and 30% off a few things which sounded great. When we left the store and i read the receipt, I couldn't figure out this 'discount'. We got like 30c off everything, i was really annoyed, they were talking it up so much. Anyway i worked up the nerve and went back in and very innocently and kindly asked for someone to explain the receipt to me, and where our discount was on it. Turns out the guy who served us didn't know how to work the register properly, and gave us $10 off the whole bill, rather then 10%, they were so apologetic. I was just glad i had the guts to go back in, it saved us a butt load!
We are hoping to head up to one of the ski hills around here to try out our gear, and check out these mountains. We probably won't be back before the season is over, so we might as well make the most of it, it's meant to be some of the best snow around here.
Not much more to report except, all of the hostel's just smell of Weed, The whole city of Vancouver smelt of weed really. I've been eating heaps, I think i am high from passive-smoking weed all day, but if i'm being completely honest with myself, i just love bakery treats.
That's us,
Love to all. Always thinking of home,

End of America and Vancouver
Well after a dodgy last couple of hours in America we arrived in Canada. It was such a relief, the people in US had been being so rude..like you go to a shop and people don't say 'hi how are you?' they just look at you, sometimes might even say 'what?' We had quite the experience on the flight, turns out whatever flight you get in america, you have to pay to check in luggage, $25 a bag, my bag was 4 pounds over and that was going to cost $90…it didn't matter that Dick's bag was over 4 pounds lighter. We figured it out without paying the $90 extra. Then when we were waiting for the flight we realised that the carry-on rules in the US are a lot looser then here, think a bag double the size of what you would normally take on…big duffel bags etc, and everyone is allowed 2 bags (plus handbags, laptops etc) Because it was a full flight there was too much carry-on so everyone was allowed to check-in there extra bags for FREE!!! i could have screamed….
Anyways we arrived in Canada after a hilarious flight. Mills tune-out, i'm retelling stories
Dick asked the flight attendant for a coke, this is how it went
FA: sorry what did you say?
Dick: Coke…. cocca-cola?
FA: I'm sorry I don't know what Cart is..
Dick: No… Coke (points to a can), cocoa cola
Jordy: You know C-O-K-E.. coke
FA: Look, i'm an American Citizen and i've never heard of Cart, so i'm just going to give you a can of Coke.
this is a shortened version and Dick thought he was taking the piss…after he walked away Dick was like… he was serious wasn't he? It was really weird.
Then the guy behind us started talking, he asked the lady next to him a couple of small talk questions, she asked him some, which apparently gave him permission to tell his life story and talk non-stop for 6 hours.
Here are some highlights
"You know when i got that third promotion in London i thought, this isn''t me… I"m a really spiritual person you know."
"…That's when i just had to say to my wife you're having an affair aren't you?"
"Well i like to get up in the morning, i do some journalling at breakfast, then have some low-fat yoghurt, but you know low-fat yoghurt is actually high in sugar, then i go to the gym…." We heard the schedule of his day 3 times. no joke…this went on for the full 6 hours. 4 hours in he was like "oh, we've been going 4 hours already wow!" we were ready to jump out of the plane
Which is actually quite a nice segway…MILLS tune back in now….
Part way in I noticed on the back of the seats it said "Use seat bottom cushion as floatation" This sparked a bit of curiosity and my worst thoughts were true. There were no life-jackets on that plane, in case of emergency we were to strap the seat cushion to ourselves and jump. Clearly this was one emergency instruction we should have watched.
OK… so Vancouver, we had a airport transfer included in our package, so it was really nice not to get off and have to catch the bus and lug our luggage around again. The package also paid for 5 nights in a hostel and it's really cool. A great bar down below with cheap drinks for girls and a $4.95 dinner special every night. We also get a free breaky and a whopping $2 if you want to upgrade to a hot breakfast.
Good news is we spoke to an amazing Aussie chick in an adventure shop today who gave us a bunch of contacts in Banff (she lived there for 3 years). I might even be able to line up some nursing work in a clinic she used to work at…prayers again appreciated. We have booked overnight Greyhound bus tickets to Banff and leave tomorrow night. We are a bit nervous, it's currently -15 and we are wearing most of our layers at -1….we have bought all our warm clothes, i think it's just a case of slowly climatizing.
Dick's bitrhday was today, we went out for a brunch, and for dinner, we went to this great place called the factory, a total dive of a bar, but all their food is only 5.95… and it was the best feed we've had the whole trip, i had salmon in an asian sauce, rice and veges. They also had $2.75 Sol beers for the night. We had a great and cheap night out…suited Dick to a tee :)
It's been an interesting time in Vancouver, It has even snowed which was awesome. We are realising we are going to be the oldest people wherever we get a job…seriously this place is swimming with 18year old guys here for the snow boarding and relaxed drug laws.
