My 4th transplant anniversary

Today is my 4 year transplant anniversary. I'm having quite a reflective day and I've been doing lots of thinking about the last 4 years and of course thinking of my amazing donor family too. I feel very privileged to be in contact with my donor family and emailed my donor's sisters this morning to let them know that their family is in my thoughts today.

To me it doesn't feel right celebrating my transplant anniversary when I know what my donor family are going through, but some years I like to do a little something with my family. My parents asked me to choose our evening meal today because one of the biggest changes since my transplant has been me learning to eat. Mum is at work til 8pm, but when she gets in we'll all be sitting down together and having Chinese crispy duck with pancakes, yum.

If you aren't already on the organ donor register then please sign up here, you can save lives like mine. If you've already signed up then please spread the word. Thanks.

Quick Update

Sorry for not posting again for a little while. I know I'd just got back into the routine of blogging and was trying to get my blog up to date, but my health hasn't been too good over the last fortnight so I've not managed to keep up the blogging.

As you'll know I went to 2 amazing concerts a couple of weeks ago. I blogged about seeing Marina and the Diamonds here and hope to blog about seeing Eliza Doolittle soon. It seems that a combination of attending 2 concerts close together and then getting a virus (mainly manifesting itself as a bad cough) has knocked my health a bit and this past week or two my energy levels have been lower than they usually are.

I've got a busy week coming up with 2 more concerts, so am really hoping I'll have enough energy to manage those. I hope to get back to blogging soon.
