@Sister Ive been thinking of you too as we both have the same anniversary..both went under the knife for our BC operations yesterday. xx
I came out of hospital this date last year & boy do I feel better now than one year ago! Ive done 6 loads of washing today & that certainly wasnt possible this time last year!! It is such a reflective time of year anyway, but I was constantly remembering yesterday what i was going through 12 months ago & how my life had changed in a blink. i was certainly not concerned about Christmas but rather will i survive to celebrate another one! Boy, I have a lot to be grateful of. Feeling quite emotional at the moment & finding it hard to take in all that I have been through in the last year. Funny how the little things that weren't possible last year, are a joy now, when you thought you would never be able to do the simplest things. I hung out my washing with a smile on my face & thought how lucky I am to have come out the other side with so many new friends that I have found on this forum & how your strength & first hand knowledge has got me through this year, Yes, my medical team was amazing & the support of family was incredible but you cant beat the love & support of your forum friends who have first hand experience in what this disease can do & who can tell you how you should be feeling & help you with the decisions on what to do aa you have been there yourselves. That is the difference between medical staff & friends that have walked the path of this disease & knows the ups & downs that it can bring. God bless you all & words cant begin to thankyou for your knowledge, strength, support & love. You are all angels & the words you write change peoples lives & that is a strong & powerful gift. Continued strength to you all, keep up the fight & know we are all here for each other. Wishing you every blessing at Christmas & may the coming year be good to us all. xxxx
