My 2nd birthday!!!
Half way through yesterday, I realized it was my 2nd birthday (since the bone marrow transplant); and I started to cry. It was a weird moment because so many feelings/memories came rushing back, but I had also nearly forgotten the day. So, my DNA is 27 (my donor was 25 + 2) but my body is 45 (feels more like 90). I guess I just want everyone that is feeling sorry for themselves to realize things can always be worse, so count your blessings!! Things do get better...If you had asked my doctor then, I am so not suppose to be here now. Fooled them all....Keep smiling, laughing and loving!!!
