Wed.14th Dec. 2011 - admitted to hospital for left breast masectomy and removal of a few lymph nodes. Only child living overseas and husband working a few hundred miles away - had so many offers of help from two sisters and girlfriends that we drew up a roster. Some stayed over and I had the nurse call in daily for a few days. A bit strange given the reason for all this but I look back on some very vivid and strong memories of sharing my vulnerability, laughing, sharing jokes and stories, playing scrabble and care with hygiene (how wonderful to have someone wash my hair!). It felt like being in a nurturing bubble. A friend insisted on putting up all the Xmas decorations and another friend made a picnic lunch which we ate with me propped up in bed and her next to me. We felt like kids being a bit naughty. So although this time of year is my anniversary the beautiful memories of love and laughter are stronger.
