My Second TKR in 6 months and UBC Hospital Vegan Options
I guess I am posting this because I have met people who chose to put up with the pain of osteoarthritis in the knees because that are afraid of the process that is a total joint replacement.
Almost 6 months to the day, I returned to UBC Hospital for my second total knee replacement (the left one this time not a redo of the right!). Having done this once, I entered the hospital with much less trepidation than the first time around. I knew exactly what was up! I'll start by saying that given the overwork that doctors, nurses and all medical staff face, I would not have been surprised if some were short or grumpy (I have been to emergency rooms over the years and experienced that occasionally), but everyone that I have encountered in my TKR journeys have been profoundly kind and concerned with my comfort and a good outcome. Thank you so much to Dr. Michael Neufeld and all his staff at the Orthopedic Reconstruction Surgery Team. I know there are other equally skilled surgeons working out of this hospital as well but my experience was only with Dr. Neufeld.
Aldergrove Indian Bistro - Vegan Options
In keeping with my new found insistence on vegan menus or clearly marked vegan options, we revisited Aldergrove Indian Bistro. Even though AIB is only 5 years old, it seems to have become the OG of Indian joints in this little hamlet. Also, they are one of the few places, Indian or otherwise, that have specific vegan options marked clearly on their menu.
The Barley Merchant - Vegan Options
We will always choose the restaurant with the clearly marked vegan options or vegan menu instead of the eatery where we have to guess or negotiate or discuss menu items with someone who doesn't understand or care about vegans. The Barley Merchant has a specific vegan menu on its website dropdown menu. So off we went!
Vege Garden Pizza and Coffee Shop - Vegan Options
So I saw a couple of posts on Instagram about Vege Garden Pizza and Coffee Shop. The posts sorted some cheese confusion and served to reassure us that they do indeed serve some vegan pizza options here. So we set off to 128th Street and 84th to check them out.
