An Unexpected Storm

Sometimes our lives are as unpredictable as the Queensland weather. Sunday started out full of sunshine - a gorgeous belated birthday breakfast with some of my favs and blow your mind bannana pancakes! A day of girly fun looked like it would turn into calm evening walk with the boy and the dog. Things can change with a single dark cloud... and another and another. The wind and the rain were unbelivable and we arrived home drenched, I had lung pain and our fur baby had a seizure. It was intense and frightening. A few days later and things are still looking a little grey Perra appears ok but I have landed in 'club med'.

As I have mentioned before here, whenever I need IV antibiotics for a chest infection I require a thing called a PICC line - a line inserted into my heart to deliver the drugs I need. I always have to laugh at the response of nurses when Cam comes along for this procedure. They are always concerned about him
coming into the room while they do it because most people would find it a bit much and end up being the patient, passed out on the floor. Cam takes it in his stride and has held my hand for every single one of these since we started dating. Goodness, if it came to it I think he would be able to put the line in! He is my advocate, my support and doesn't even mind when I sqeeze his fingers a bit too tight.

Todays photo shows the line in
my heart. It also shows the necklace my family gave me for my birthday. I think this illustrates our lives - sometimes it is like a crazy storm, it can be wild and unexpected but with Cam holding my hand and our family never too far away there is always a way through. After all, those who always wait for the storm to pass never learn to dance in the rain!
