Love and thanks

Much love and thanks for all of the lovely emails and messages of support and kindness this last week and really the last few months. I finally feel like I'm on the road to recovery and I'm getting stronger with each day. I got out of hospital on Friday and I cannot begin to explain how happy I was to say goodbye to that place. It really got me down this time. My 3rd time in there in a matter of weeks and my 2nd operation. I was so happy to be home to family. To see the smiles on my boys faces, to kiss those sweet lips and hear about their days at school and kindy. Having this time away from them has made me appreciate and love them even more than I thought was possible. I am so lucky to have my beautiful two boys. I'm also lucky to have amazing parents who have been lifesavers through this whole journey. And very lucky to have caring and supportive friends. And importantly I'm lucky to have my health. There are people out there who are far worse off. I'm lucky I'm battling with a back problem and not battling for my life. I look around and realise just how very lucky and blessed I really am. My glass is definitely half full and I hope that out of all of this I've learnt a few lessons. One of which is a much more positive attitude to life. And take NOTHING for granted.
