Moving from a big city to chilliwack next month, just purchased a home. We’re both from small towns and very familiar with Chilliwack so not worried about transition
Though I’m curious what groups/communities/networks/gatherings etc are happening in the area?! I’m sure once we get situated we’ll met people but in the meantime I’d like to make the transition smooth for the kids and us (I’m SAHM)
Where we were had a very active mom Facebook page and weekly library meet ups, kids park dates, a drop in play centre etc. so I assume that’s going on here, just haven’t found loads online yet.
kids are 1 and 3.

Thanks in advance!

Buying a house and just discovered the hot water tank is 22 years old 😮 (crazy I know)
Anyways, we are trying to negotiate getting a bit off the price, etc. so I’m not looking for comments on that however I am interested if anybody knows of any local companies who do installations? Any recommendations or referrals, etc.
Natural gas.

Has anybody ever gotten a private MRI done in Vancouver? I have been waiting in the system since I’m still on a waitlist with a sport medicine doctor however in substantial pain and debating going private.
Just wondering if people found the radiologist report substantial? Worth it, etc.?

Finally after 3 years and failed EVERYY(prp, prolotherapy, numerous hand physios, custom braces etc) finally opted for surgery and was told I have a second/separate compartment for the tendons and that’s likely why the conservative measures didn’t work.

Now 6 months postpartum with second baby and having pain in other Hand!! Ugh.

Debating going right to surgery

Did you have this separate compartment that you know about? A quick Google search said 80% of dequervain cases come from the fact there’s 2 smaller sheaths vs 1 large.

I always wondered why other people had zero issues holding/carrying babies when it hurts me so bad. Not to mention I am physically strong and lift weights constantly before. No shortage of strength
