Writing about my experiences is an interesting experience in itself. The majority of people are very encouraging (many suggesting over the years that ‘there’s a book in it’).
Sharing bits and pieces on social media is one thing, but the blog is a little more detailed and the prospect of a book – much more so. On occassion I receive some lovely feedback, which really does warm my heart and spur me on to write or share more. Whilst marking my ‘1st Birthday’ last week, a complete stranger took the time to send the message below. It made me stop and really think about just how many are involved in keeping people like me going. I was pretty chuffed that by sharing on Insta, this person could feel my gratitude and saw fit to reach out. I can’t tell you how many hundred times I’ve walked along the corridor, past the lab in which my donor stem cells were processed. The scientists and people working there just as important to my survival as the awesome team of Doctors, Nurses and Allied Healh staff.
To all, another great big, heartfelt thank you for your work. And thank you to my friends and family who helped celebrate this one year milestone in a variety of ways – including cards, delicious doughnuts, beautiful natural body care treats and the old favourite – cup of ice! I wasn’t expecting to be back in hospital, but you guys have made it a more pleasant time.
