So how am I feeling at this point?

  • Grateful that so many resources are being poured into my well-being
  • Frightened about the side effects of the medications, dealing with pain and fatigue and feeling out of control
  • Anxious as there's only two weeks to go until I am admitted to hospital
  • Glad that I've spent a big part of the last ten weeks enjoying and looking around the great NZ outdoors
  • Satisfied that my planning and organisational abilities mean that we now have a detailed 'Parenting Manual' and provisions put in place to help my husband and daughter deal with life's changed circumstances
  • Sad that I may not see my 10 year old daughter, Neri, for a while
  • Pleased that Grant's eldest son, Paul (23), is moving into our house on weekdays to help with Neri and to provide support for Grant.
  • Thankful that it's only a year out of my life where I will need to make some changes but, after that, I have a good chance of being cured and able to live a normal life. again
  • Special that I have so many friends and great sisters that willingly support and spend quality time with me.
