Living, loving & taking on life!

All right I know I didn’t keep to my promise of updating often, but I am now and I have a lot to say.
At the end of my school holidays I had some visitors from Holland and they were really cool people. It was the van Dorp clan, my father's good old friend and his three kids. They stayed with us for four weeks. We showed them around and we even ended up going to Cairns with them for one week! 

In Cairns we did so much that it is hard to name them all. We mostly lay at the beach, swam in the pool and did all these fun activities including horse back riding the oldest forest in the world! I loved the hot weather and I wish I could go back and do it all over again. Sadly our Dutch friends had to leave and go back to Holland. I really miss them but we stay in contact.

The video is taken in Queensland when me and my brother saw this old piano at a market and we just started playing this song.

A few weeks later we had some more visitors and this time they were from Singapore. They stayed only for two weeks but still had lots of fun. We took them on winery tours (of course not with me...) and all of the good places to go. All of us even went to the Royal Adelaide show! I went on two rides and they both went really, really fast. Again the Singaporeans had to leave and they had to wake up at 5:30am, which is when I woke up too. Ever since that day I have said to myself to wake up earlier and go for a jog or bike ride with my dog Gemma. I really loved an early morning bike ride.

Moving to the present and towards my health, I am doing really good and living life. I have done some ice skating which was really good and fun! I am more active with Gemma (bike riding and walking). I am just feeling really, really, really good. Did I say I was feeling good?!

I still need to go for the regular check-ups and I really want to go as well (although I really do not want to go if that makes any sense....)

This week I had two scans one of which is a major one. So on Monday my dad took me to the hospital for an MRI which the nurses had to give me four injections because they couldn’t find a good vein. One Tuesday my dad took me the hospital again and my mum stayed with me thereafter, and I had a nuclear injection which I thought was awesome. I felt like becoming the Hulk... 

Lastly on Wednesday my dad took me again to the hospital to have an MIBG scan which was the important full body scan. Next week Tuesday I have a check up to see the results of the scan, and I am really nervous, although there is nothing to be nervous about I think....

Anyway! To sum up my ‘in remission state’ I am living, loving and taking on life!
