Milestones

Morning all

I don’t post much but do keep an eye and contribute where I can; however I did want to share a milestone with you.

Yesterday marked five years since I set off on the OC rollercoaster, with the eviction of the uninvited guest (other phrases are used!) A long day of waiting around, a failed spinal block and epidural to holding the mask to send me of to sleep; then waking up in a bit of a lather as I was so damn hot and poor nurses trying to protect my modesty as I tried to uncover myself to cool off. Seems I decided to be unlike most folk who are chilly afterwards and be like a blooming radiator 🥵.

I also recall that unlike the current volatility, there was a pre-Easter heatwave albeit I viewed it through a hospital window!

Big love and hope to everyone ❤️

Thanks Lyndy. Always conscious so many don’t reach them but also (maybe selfishly) feel we should all take the wins in our journeys xx

Well done Yorkiepudd! 👏🏻

I hope ur going to do something nice to celebrate.

Like you I was early stage clear cell, like you they couldn’t get spinal block/epidural in and like you I was hot when I woke up (although it was August & I’ve been hot ever since 🤣).

I hope to be LIKE you again someday marking my 5 years on this journey 👏🏻.

Long may it continue for you xx Jen

Well done Yorkiepudd. 5 years. This is my goal. I'm not even 1 year yet. I can hope. Hope your OK after your procedure? X

It goes quicker than you think especially once you’re back doing ‘life’ again at work etc. I’m not saying the appointment anxiety doesn’t still get you or you feel complacent, but you do feel grateful to chalk off the next milestone. Here’s to your first year being ticked off xx

That’s brilliant news Yorkiepudd. Here’s to the next 5 years. I’m 4 years away from joining the 5 year club but certainly intend to get there.

Well done! x
