Nancy Green’s prestige resort of wooden chalets in serious skiing country. Another nervous descent from the Nancy Green summit had me wondering how many more peaks and summits I would have to grit my teeth through. T rough Grand Forks, full of Russian restaurants, quilting
cottages and pottery studios, where all names end in ski, past the Alpine taxidermists, where elks heads are stuff ed to wall mount, [a sign on the road warned of the elk hazard so presumably road kill works if you’re not a hunter] past shops with quaint names like Rags, Relics and Rutabagas, we drove for miles on twisting, turning roads until, aſt er much “direction” discussion, we arrived at the Apple Orchard RV Park, a fl at expanse of tranquil green perched above Kelowna. T e genial Japanese gentleman in charge of the site loaded us
down with wine maps, brochures of local information, and vast quantities of apples from the box in his offi ce, before driving off into the night, balancing a plate of buttered rolls on the steering wheel of his ancient car. T e next morning was the beginning of a perfect day. Mist
stretched across a sky of blue, and a half moon hung suspended above scattered suds of pearly cloud. It was lovely, except that I felt shaky, sweaty and dizzy, and Adrian, the abscess on my ankle, was stinging mercilessly, obviously very angry about something. T e genial Japanese gentleman roused himself from deep

immersion in a cookery channel on TV, and gave us the address of a walk-in medical clinic, where an extremely jovial, and charming resident doctor injected Adrian, several times I may say, then jabbed, sliced, prodded, and squeezed, before bandaging me up and dispatching me off to the Emergency Department of Kelowna General Hospital with a suspected case of mild septicemia and worries about septic arthritis of the ankle bone. Generally healthy and therefore wholly unaccustomed to
hospitals, I found administration was an irritating but quite diverting procedure that I probably didn’t take too seriously. T e triage nurse, who disputed I was in good health aſt er calculating the number of pills I take to be in good health, annoyed me. [Being a paying, and, involuntary client I felt I had the right to tell her I was in as good a health as I wanted to be.] I couldn’t stop staring at the lady who took down all my fi nancial information as her hair was exactly the colour I’d tried to describe to hairdressers for years, and I was so rapt by the account of the woman admitted aſt er me, who’d dropped a 17 pound frozen turkey on her foot, it being near T anksgiving, I could barely tear myself away to go to the Emergency ward.

of ironing I undressed, and lay under a scratchy blanket, listening to the slurred complaints of a gentleman impatiently demanding the results of a blood test, and the frozen turkey lady giving a blow-by-blow account of her accident to a fascinated neighbouring patient, while various glamorous staff with French manicures, big hair and possible nose jobs wandered in to rifl e through fi ling cabinets, and inquire as to the whereabouts of sandwiches. I felt badly about my sister, waiting for me while perched on a chair outside the ward, missing all the delights of Kelowna.
