My last entry in 2014 was a write-up on my class of 1990 high school reunion. What a great night that was! Brilliant to see so many old faces again & catch up with everyone. Hope we can do it again!
After that, we had moved house & everything seemed to be going well... that is, until I was told I was going into kidney failure. The past 5-6 years have been a complete blur of hospital appointments, blood tests, burst cysts, medication while navigating life in general as well as raising a teenager single handedly... not an easy task in itself.
Fast forward to July 2020, & I received the life changing gift of a new kidney. My transplant took place in Bristol & now, at nearly 15 months post op, I have an amazing new lease of life, for which I will always be grateful. I volunteer with the local community theatre & am also an adult instructor with the Tiverton Air Cadets. My teenager is now 20 & is now a full grown adult (though still living at home).
Life can change in the blink of an eye, so enjoy it while you can! xxx
