Although treated to a couple of days or a few hours ‘day pass’ here and there, most of the holiday season 2014-15 has been spent in hospital. Not exactly the most colourful of places, but the staff did their best to make it as festive as possible. Some of the Pharmacists even played carols on violin and sang – not what I was expecting!
I spent Christmas, New Years, my 37th birthday and our 13th wedding anniversary in these four walls of Room 34. (I’ll just have to make up for it next year.)
My gorgeous friend Catherine, who had APML 11 years ago, made me the most beautiful headpiece from healing stones – rose quartz etc…. Delivered personally on Boxing Day.
My brother married his long-term partner and mother of his three children Amber. I wasn’t well enough to fly to Adelaide for the ceremony, but technology meant I could Skype in for the ceremony..turns out it occurred as I was having a platelet transfusion. My nurses for the night Allanah and Amy ordered pizza and we dialled-in!
Wedding via Skpye, platelet transfusion and pizza party!!!! Who would’ve thought!
