I apologize that it has been a while since I last wrote a post. I have been very busy!
Christmas was really great.
Last Christmas (2013)was difficult to enjoy as I was just starting chemo and did not realize until it was too late that the chemo lowered my blood pressure. Since I was still taking a high dose blood pressure medication, I was coming close to passing out all that day. Al made me a wonderful meal and I had to eat in spurts...retiring to the couch when I felt faint and then sneaking back for a few more bites of turkey and stuffing!
This past Christmas (2014) was so much nicer! Mark had worked the night shift and picked up his girlfriend, Rachelle, so we opened gifts when they got here and then we had a turkey dinner in the evening before they left to go back to work. Kaila and Mike called from Calgary to round out the family participation!
The smell of turkey cooking all day is amazing, isn't it?
One of my gifts was a 3000 piece jigsaw puzzle that I am STILL working on! LOL! I LOVE my jigsaw puzzles!!
I want all of my Christmases to really count. Every one will be special in some way.
