Survival

Feeling a bit reflective this morning so asking the question about survivorship. When do you become a survivor not a patient anymore? Or once you are "terminal" you're sick forever?? I suppose there is no right or wrong answer to that it just means different things to different people. The fact I am still here must be a form of survivorship, musn't it??
Anyway, enough about that. I have 2 things to share. The weekend and this horrendous cold.
The weekend was perfect!
We went to Blue Lagoon at Bateau Bay and we will be frequenting that one a bit once we get passed the Christmas break and school holidays. It was everything the other place wasn't. It was quiet, the amenities were great, the beach was 20m away from our site and we could see the ocean from van. It was pretty cool waking up to a view of the ocean that the most you needed to do to appreciate it was tilt your head slightly!! I didn't know places like that existed so we were completely blown away. They had a great pool area too that was a wonderful place to spend a little time and a place for the boys to make some friends. The pool was kid friendly so really easy to watch all of them and still get a relax myself! I like having the choice of whether to go to the beach or the pool. I don't think I can rant enough about this place, it's a great place and reasonably priced for quick family getaways. Oh, and only being an 1 hour away helps too.
The bad news is I still have this cold. I am coughing up fluoro green stuff which tells me my lungs are not very happy at the moment. This means I can't take my chemo tablets because I don't want to reduce my immune system even more. I have to ring them and find out the official opinion and see what they want me to do. They may think I should go ahead anyway. I don't know, only one way to find out I guess. I'll call this arvo.
I will tell you something stupid....I am sunburned! Of all the people you know would you think I would be close to the most careful in the sun.....just goes to show how easy it is to get burnt and it happens to everyone. I am in excruciating pain. One lot is around my neck and shoulders and is from setting up the camper trailer on Friday the other is on my left leg. What a goose! Apparently, I sunscreened one leg but forgot the other and sure enough I burnt terribly on the non-sunscreened leg at the beach on Saturday. So between the 2 I am a little sore and sorry, serves me right I guess. Next time we pull up at a park the first thing on the agenda will be sunscreen application, never make the same mistake twice.
Well, that's it for now I could go on forever but I won't bore you! xxx

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!
