Wave after wave

The relentless onslaught of the waves crashing into the beach is very much like the endless surge of eye drops that make their two hourly journey, day in, day out, without fail. Vicki is over half way through the Chinese water torture to counter the effects of her 3rd chemotherapy treatment.

The chemotherapy now over, she's got another 5 days of eye drops. This of course means that she's exhausted and spends much of the time sleeping. It's also affecting her appetite, so this is quite a tough time for her.

Christmas just adds to the layers of frustration in her life at the moment. It must seem absolutely never ending for her to endure this, and to know that she has another session of this in about 2-3 weeks time. Whilst everyone else has been enjoying the snow, as ever she's confined to her ward, missing out on yet something else. Something else that she'll never get back.
