Steve has had all the treatment he can for the time being, and we are just waiting on the scan which will tell us how well it has worked. His pain is under control, the fatigue is the new normal, life goes on.
I guess this is what they call “living with cancer”?
Yesterday we did our annual “bauble shop”. Every year since the girls were tiny we have taken them out at the beginning of December and they have chosen a special bauble each. It gets labelled with their initial and the year, and every year it goes on the tree. The idea is that when they leave home and have a tree of their own, they will take their collection with them and have a starting point for their own tree.
When that day comes, there will be some I will miss seeing on the tree, others…. not so much lol! There are some particularly sparkly monstrosities from the early days!
So Christmas is under way, and this year we’ve decided to spend the day itself with just the 4 of us – the Christmas Covid rules appear to be complicated and easily mis-interpreted, and too many decisions to have to make. “Just us” is the easiest, safest option – just us in a bubble, and outdoor walks with friends and family.
Oh, and Steve has promised a Kahoot quiz to get us all together virtually!
