Today is the day....day 0

So today is what they call Day 0 and I get my donor cells.


I've read and been told it is a bit of an anti-climax as effectively they are just put us as an infusion, you don't feel anything etc...but this is a massive day and hopefully the first day of the rest of my life.


I've been thinking a lot about life lately and where I want mine to go from here and I have ideas...not ones I am going to share right now though! ha ha...  Since I first became Ill my opinions on life have changed a lot and I suppose can be wrapped up in the saying 'Life is too short'... but it really is so much more than that.  We only have one life, it is precious and to waste even a second is wrong.  We should be grateful to be here, to ensure we live our lives to the best of our ability, to make ourselves and those we care about around us happy and to not live with regrets.  I have taken responsibility for my life which I think lacks in a lot of people.  I am responsible for where I live, for paying my way, for my happiness etc...


Don't get me wrong I know it is not easy all of this but we can be responsible for the direction we take and only we can make changes to our lives.  I quickly get angry with people who moan about things, well that sounds harsh I am a good friend and I listen and give advice of course and always have time for any problems my friends have, it is different to that, it is people who blame their issues on others or don't ever make a change.


Wow I am blabbing on now...all I mean is that life is precious and all to short and we should remember that on a daily basis.


So it is 9.45pm and I am about to get my cells, shouldn't take much more than an hour or so.  They were later as they have come from America (we think) as they were still on the plane at about 5pm!  i always knew it was either America or Germany.  So here goes..... the start of the rest of my life...
