For those who are wondering, I am still alive and not a popsicle frozen in a snowbank somewhere in the wilderness near the Yukon River. Although I can't say it hasn't come close.
My blogging has been impeded by my NEW JOB! Which I LOVE! And by tendonitis in my arms, which is not so great.
At the beginning of February I started working with Dr. Michael Klein, who, if you are in the birth world, you will know is a B.C. doctor who has been doing maternity care research for over 30 years now, and very pro low-tech birth and concerned about the way various technologies is transforming birth.
I started working with him on developing online, interactive childbirth education materials for a knowledge translation project he is working on. I'm currently developing the epidural module, which is a pilot project. My deadline is the end of March, so I have been working almost every spare minute! And then there's the tendonitis, which has made it so I need to limit my computer use.
In other exciting news, I have been invited to speak at the birth conference Turning the Tide in Vancouver May 11-13. I am the consumer presenter (others presenting include midwives, doctors etc.). I'm excited about the opportunity, and trying to wrap my mind around what to say in my presentation, titled "Navigating Choices in Childbirth."
Winter is dragging on and on and on here, with a ridiculous number of very cold days, and I cannot wait to go to Maui next year! In my opinion, Yukon summer is nothing to look forward to, and it will be just my luck that this summer is especially cold. And mosquitoey.
Thanks for checking in!
