Menfolk

I am very lucky to have such amazing menfolk in my life!

Similartities

I have just put two and two together and figured out the last time I felt like this and what was going on.

Hospitalisation!

Not a part of my plan. Not that we ever plan these things!

3 years 11 months (continued)

I turned 41 this week. I am not ashamed of it, I am not embarrassed to say it. I am 41. I made it to 41. I don’t quite understand the hang ups people have with the numbers. Why is 40 so different than 40? I feel that birthdays are an important marking of time. I have a birthday in January to celebrate my birth and beginning in this life. I have a brain birthday in February to celebrate the beginning of my new life, to celebrate that miracle of surviving.

I had a great plan in my head about the things I was going to put into this post. There was my problem. The plan was in my head. I have been ill since Saturday and consequently have forgotten what my plan was.

Stories and experiences of other patients

As a part of my journey through pre op and post op I have met some amazing and inspiring people. There are some amazing stories and each of them is a testament to the power of the human spirit. Without strength, often self-advocacy and hope, getting through is very hard. One of the ladies I have met through a support group is Candy. She has allowed me to share her story with you.

Goals

Apparently this was so important that I needed to post it last night while under the influence of Stilnox (Ambien, Ambien CR, Intermezzo, Stilnoct, Sublinox, Hypnogen, Zonadin, Sanval, Zolsana and Zolfresh)

Positive post op

I know I have already posted something very much the same on Google+ however it doesn't hurt to put it out there again. I will be 4 years post op next month!

We all need a positive story to help get us through the worst of things some times so here is mine

Tl;DR - I did stuff
