Title: Samoa!
Post by: Hanify on August 28, 2009, 12:15:36 AM

We had a great week.  Yes, it's tiring getting places, and most travel days I was pretty exhausted by the end of it - but it was sooooo worth it.  My dialysis went really well.  Was doing manual bags cos there's no support in Samoa for the cycler, and my renal team didn't want anything going wrong.  I swam in the sea, and even risked a swimming pool on my last day!  I'll let you know about that if things go peritoneal shaped.  Oh, ha ha, I think that's a good joke.  Here's a few photos of me and my sister Helen, and me and Paul and Molly.  Plus I've thrown one in of the lovely couple who's wedding was the reason for the trip.  Yay.  We can do anything.  Dialysis doesn't have to stop us.  However, I might need to win lotto before I get any more trips.

It's about time you posted pics, and they are great. So happy that all went well with your dialysis. Bet you wish you could go back there again. It looks lovely. See you in the chat room.

Yes that's Molly.  She's 12.  She had a blast and had lots of cousins to play with.  We didn't see her for days!  She stayed in what is called a 'fale' (pronounced far lay) with a cousin.  It's a little hut with flax type walls.  I'll put a photo up... She wasn't even at the same resort as us.  Just down the beach though, so she could run up and down as she wanted.
