RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT THROUGH THE YEARS Our transfer to Ottawa came this Spring, prompted by A/Commr Bergman, my former CO in “D” Division, so we put the house on the market for $135,900. If memory serves, we once again had to drop about $10,000 to sell it. The Winnipeg real estate market went neither up nor down during our time there…not uncommon for that part of the country. So once again, we didn’t make enough money to transfer to the higher Ottawa market without a serious mortgage. In April, we had our house-hunting trip and after loads of searching found this one for $169,900 and which we luckily purchased for $160,000. Kids were happy – it had an inground pool. Wasn’t a pretty house, and needed a lot of work, inside and out, plus new windows, plus it didn’t have air conditioning… which we couldn’t now live without. 1192 St. Moritz Court, Orleans - 1994 By this time, I was well into the morphine tablets to kill the agonizing pain of a pinched nerve/ slipped disk in my upper neck that affected my entire left arm. In fact, the month before we left Winnipeg I was unable to work at all. Had many tests done and a medical package forwarded to Health Services in Ottawa ready for when I arrived there…and an appointment made for surgery. Both Winnipeg and Ottawa Health Services were truly efficient and effective on my behalf. ‘Cept I was now seriously addicted to morphine, and coming off of that was pure hell. Plus, it got to the point where it wasn’t doing any good. I was cradling my left arm all the time. It eventually atrophied considerably. I’m convinced that years of computer work on nonergonomic chairs and desks was the cause. Being on sick leave and unable to drive any distance, we shipped our two cars and flew to Ottawa once the moving truck had left. Had a problem at the Winnipeg airport though, in that only 3 of us (plus 2 dogs) could get on the plane. Seems there was no room for the fourth person of our family (Tim was off doing his ‘summer job with the military’ thing I believe). I absolutely lost it (I was on drugs, remember) and if that had been today I would have been arrested and thrown in jail. Long story short, Christopher elected to stay behind for an extra day (I’m sure so he could have a good time with his friends…which he did). June 2017 183
RICHARD ALLEN SCOTT THROUGH THE YEARS ”HQ” Div., Informatics Directorate, Officer In Charge, Informatics Field Support Branch (IFSB) We arrived in Ottawa in time for July 1 st celebrations, in a downtown hotel close to all the action for the kids…whom we didn’t see. July 6 th our moving truck finally showed up, and it was so stinking hot and humid that the kids just lay around and watched. That’s Robyne laying on the moving blankets! Up to the date of surgery we made some major changes to the appearance of the house with painting and landscaping. Yep, I was stoned and up a ladder painting. It ended up like this. Took a quick drive down to Kingston to see Tim at RMC before surgery. 222 Nepean St., Ottawa My arm hurts June 2017 184
