55) It's Snow Time - 21st December

We returned from Maui on Monday and stayed overnight in New Westminster, Vancouver, with Leigh-Ann's brother, Bruce and his wife Carol.

The next day we were transported back to Harrison Hot Springs by Earla and Michel and accompanied by Leigh-Ann's daughter, Sarah.

It seemed that as soon as we got back to HHS Leigh-Ann's pain level increased a lot.

Whether the warmth of Maui or being on her honeymoon had helped her physical and mental disposition or whether it was coincidental we will probably never know but her increased pain now we are back is certain.

Being back in HHS, means that the daily routine of cancer is, once again, the norm. Maui was a great diversion, a perfect distraction from reality.

The good news is that Dr Bull, Leigh-Ann's pain specialist, sorted out her pain meds and Leigh-Ann is comfortable once more.

The contrast between Maui and HHS is unmistakable as is the weather. We had about 10 cms of snow yesterday and freezing temperatures. Also there are no palm trees in HHS or hump back whales in the lake...

Time for a warm fire, films on TV and popcorn. It must be Christmas.

  1. It all looks Sooo beautiful. I love the snow ... But it's much better from indoors sat snug in front of a lovely warm fire. I hope the cold doesn't cause you too many problems Leigh Ann. Get your onsie on and cuddle up in front of the fire and watch some old Xmas movies with your popcorn. I hope you all have a fantastic time together. Spain for me tomorrow .... I'm getting really excited!!!! Lol. Lxxx

  2. L-A- the sun is beautiful but so is the snow - each season appreciated in it´s own right - it´s who you are with that is important. We have Hannah back with us now for 12 days - we miss Jess not being here but happy that she is happy and enjoying her life in Australia. Have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones - we´ll raise a glass of cava (or two) on the Balcon at N.Y.E. and think of friends. XXX
