El Nino is here and is supposed to kick our butts this winter! It has already brought torrential rains and mudslides to Southern CA. There is a large school of great white sharks that were seen outside the Golden Gate and puffer fish found in Monterey Bay. It all points to a nasty winter this year. The weather currently in Pleasant Hill is fantastic (cool mornings, clear skies, warm afternoons and cool nights). It's Christina and my favorite time of the year. But just around the corner...
It's the same for Christina and her recovery from surgery and chemotherapy. Instead of rain and snow, we are expecting hormone replacement therapy, physical therapy from lymphedema and a slight chance of radiation. This will be followed by reconstructive surgery. We don't when the storm is coming. We just know it is coming.
She continues to amaze me and her doctors. Last week, she ran approximately 45 miles. My back aches when I drive 45 miles! Seriously! While I limp around and go to chiropractors and acupuncturist to treat my bones and sinewy muscles, Christina bounces around and says that she is blessed. She is not just saying it, either.
I need to get myself in shape and quick! If the winter is close to what the "experts" are saying, I need to quick and nimble during the storms. I don't want to end up like some of the less fortunate members of the Donner Party.
