Well 5 children, 2 adults, 33 degrees heat and 11 days later and we are home.......
We had a wonderful time, pedlo rides, aqua parks, theme parks, beach Olympics, Lilo wars, ice creams and some great home cooked food! Oh and a romantic night out for Steve and I.
After much nagging (yes I am quite the expert in that!) Steve got up and walked around every 15 minutes on the flight, Rory (Steves youngest nephew) had a watch with an alarm clock and he was a willing time keeper and was more than happy to time the 15 minutes in return for chocolate biscuits as payment from me!
Having ensured that we had all of the paperwork we needed to take 11 syringes through the airport and onto the plane, we were not asked anything about them on either the way out or the way back. So much for no sharp objects!
Steve Im pleased to say has now mastered the art of injecting himself, it is not too sore when he is doing it but it leaves sore lumps under the skin, which means he is fast running out of places to inject himself!
It was a relief and somewhat unreal to finally arrive in Spain. Bryan and Muriel were so pleased to see us. It had taken a lot of doing and their were many times when I thought we would not be going and I know Bryan and Muriel believed the same, so to arrive and spend the time there with them and the kids was amazing And unbelievably at the end of the 11 days they were still smiling or was that relief that their quite house and pool were going to get back to normal!
Steve took to growing the most awful beard whilst we were away, a mixture of ginger and grey! Even Vix was begging him to shave it off, which Im pleased to say he did after 8 days of moaning from all of the girls!
Steves pain in his chest is now under control from the pain killers he takes every 4 hours, which is good, as he is able to sleep at night with out the pain. And he has been putting on weight nearly a stone, since his operation which is good as he will need it to help through the treatment.
Well better get on with the washing!!
So pleased to hear you all got away and had a fab time too by all accounts.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy and we'll hope to see you in the week.

Sally,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Arie Janson and I used to work with Steve at Morgan Lovell. I have recently heard that Steve has not been well. I have read your blog which has brought me up to speed with Steve’s progress.
Although I have not seen Steve since leaving Morgan Lovell in 2002 I know he is a strong individual and always up for a challenge. So when you see him please pass on my very best wishes and let him know when he is feeling up to seeing people I would be delighted to buy him a pint.
In the meantime both Nicky and I are thinking of you.
Hi Steve and Sally
ReplyDeleteglad you managed to get away and sounds like it was a good break away for you all - before the challenge of the treatment starts!! will be thinking of you Steve and sending lots of positive thoughts your way.
love Murray and Genevieve
