Plateau of waiting

After the past few months of happenings life has hit a plateau.
At least it feels like a plateau.
All the worries and feelings of relief regarding health, mine and others.
It isn't over yet.
RBR is in the process of healing his surgery cut.
I am still undergoing physio to strengthen my leg muscles.
Life feels like a plateau cos this is the waiting period.
It feels kind of depressing.
Maybe it just PMS.

RBR updates and a possible cruise

RBR's tumour has been defined as melanoma (skin cancer)....I guess it is supposed to originate from there, though he prolly didn't even know he had them.
He seemed to be recovering well from the surgery.
This is the first stage of his treatment.
There are many stages more to go. The second tumour that is embedded deeper is still there.

JAR and I are making plans for the vacation and hopefully it will turn out to be one for his whole family.
We are thinking of taking an Alaskan cruise.
There are several members of his family who seem interested (even RBR!) to go along.
I personally have never been on a cruise ship before and am hoping that this trip will really happen.
My mom has travelled on a cruise shipe in Europe and she was sea sick for most of it!
JAR says that there is already a wait list for the crusie.
Wouldn,t it be nice if all their family members could come along and make this a memorable trip especially for RBR?
JAR says we should buy tickets with insurance so if RBR's treatment does not allow him to go, we can get a refund for most of it.
Still, its all in the planning stages.

I am having a leisurely week at work because of the Chinese New Year celebrations.
A part of me is not feeling very festive but being with my little nieces always gets me in a much happier mood.
Have a good weekend!

Another surgery and about looking young

RBR's surgery has been set for Wednesday 10 February.
His siblings who are living all over the country are attempting to come see him.
JAR is opening his home to welcome some of them.
He's even buying more beds for the occasion!
Some good always comes out from a bad situation.
They are all in shock over the possibility of losing a loved one.
Its bringing them closer together.
Let's continue with our prayers to Allah/God.

This weekend my SIl made a Spa party.
It is actually a demonstration of a gadget for beauty purposes by a direct selling company.
I made some new friends there.
The lady demonstrated the gadget by applying it and some wonder gel on my face.
Yup, there was some difference; skin was firmer and ok....I was supposed to look younger.
It was a fun time.
I enjoyed it.
Much as I want to look as good as possible, I am also one who believes in growing old gracefully.
At this point I do not see me ever being involved with botox or plastic surgery.
I actually love to see people who have the laugh lines around their eyes as they smile.
U need the lines to indicate that u have had a full life.
I would never want my mom to be mistaken for my sister....and me for her sister either.
I hope that my lines would indicate that I have lived as a happy and good person.
