The boys slept over at mom and dad's Friday so we had some good fun playing board games and drinking hot chocolate, true healing activities when you have 2 fun boys making you laugh constantly. I am lucky that my twin nephews love going to their Nana and Papa's so much...and they think Auntie Tricia is okay too (I never let them win anything on purpose).
I had a couple other visits from good friends, watched the Stampeders win the Grey Cup with mom and dad Sunday, and mom and I did the final steps for my condo sale (including a miraculous search and find mission for a broken light fixture in terrible road conditions) which closed today. It's actually been pretty busy, with rests inserted as necessary.
No word yet on the pathology from my surgery. I called this afternoon and apparently the pathologist is still working on it. Once that's ready I'll meet with my surgeon and then get referred back to the Tom Baker for next steps. He'll also check out how my incisions are healing and let me know what he thinks I can do for activity. On my list of questions for him will no doubt be the likelihood of me heading to Maui in just about a month ;)
Having cancer multiple times over 17 years has built my reserve of patience fairly well. While no one likes to do it, it's a bit like many sports. You have to practice to get better at it. Thanks everyone for your continued support - happy December :)

What a treat! Dave and I are on a bus that is just pulling into London. I discovered that there's a free WiFi connection for passenger use. One of the first things I do when I go on-line is check your blog. Your update is filled with the stuff of everyday life being lived as fully as possible by our awesome niece. You inspire us to make the most of the next three days with some of Dave's family in Poole.
Happy December to you, too, Tricia. Here's to the possibility of Maui in January! Cheers!
Love you lots,
Louise and David
Thanks for the update Tricia. We're thinking of you as you wait for those results, and we're praying for the best possible outcome.
Your attitude and sense of humour are amazing .
Happy December to you too.
Lots of love,

Dear Tricia, I am thinking of you so often. Your tenacity never ceases to amaze me. You know I am keeping you in my prayers and positive thoughts. Lots of love to you and everyone in Calgary!!

Sigh...bad days and good days. Lets hope you have way more good than bad.
It sounds like you are healing, though. There is nothing like being loved by children to help with that. Especially when they are smart and funny, and think you are smart and funny, too.
It is so true about practice. You have to do it to be good at anything--sports, music, puzzles, etc. But you have raised it to an art. We are praying that you will keep it up!
Good luck with the pathology report. And also with Maui trip.
Thanks for being so faithful in your updates.
Love, BJ and Bob
