We ended up spending both Christmas and New Year in the hospital, lessen our trips, cancel alot of things, prioritized eating healthy meals, postponed my readings, spending more time at home. Added to that, a new job description was given to me. Which means I have to handle more stress than usual. I have to say it wasnt easy at all. Coming home to the hospital on a holiday season seeing the person you love lying in the hospital bed plus having to deal with other twenty strangers at work coupled with some personal and family issues, at one point I thought it was all a dream. That this would soon be over but it didnt end.
Luckily things have start to change by the time Sinulog came. Got the chance to go out and we even dared going to the mall a week before that. Thank God wheelchairs were invented!
Of course, we have to thank her generous mom for the stay in Crown Regency during Sinulog.
And I, even got the chance to join the photo contest though I didnt manage to pass any entry.
Iris even made it to the streets last Sinulog. Thanks to her cane and our friend Alex who helped us thru the rowdy crowd.

| After our lunch. We managed to eat or take-out meal on the curb. |

| The rain started to pur after lunch. Iris, with Alex, is on her way back to the hotel. |
And before I knew it, Iris could then manage to drive after checking out in Crown Regency.
So to celebrate her new found "freedom", we tried this new restaurant at The Walk. Its called Blue Elephant.
Three weeks after she got out from the hospital friends came in and we huddled for a little potluck dinner that served as a Thanksgiving party. It was a night of great food, great talk and amazing people.

| We all shared a toast. |
And I am hoping to send these Christmas gifts back home by next week.
Iris will be back to work 2 days from now. We would soon be back to our normal life and I hope I no longer have to make another catch-up entry in the future. ;D
