Life has changed big time over the past 7 months, I have went from not being able to walk from the bed to the landing to now being able to take my 2 older girls to their first dancing class, to the start of camogie (sport) training, to their first days at primary school and play school and in a nice way my heart feels like it could explode !! At the same time I can pack the car up with all the baby bits and pieces and Chole and I do the drop off and then we hit the road to meet my friends for a cuppa !! This is how I should be spending my maternity leave, needless to say after 3 hrs of being out and about I come home and head straight for the sofa feeling wrecked but good. It just makes me so thankful for a second chance at life and I am so proud to say that we have just finished a fundraising event and have raised over £10,000 (GBP) for the 2 hospitals that saved my life, proceeds will go to their cardiology funds. Paul my husband has only just returned back to work, about 6 weeks ago, another big step that I have adapted successfully too, and we have got a lovely new childminder who takes care of Ciara and Hannah the days that Paul is working, So to conclude, this is me getting a 'new norm' I never dwell on what has happened to me and I never question it, every day I take my medication morning and night, I go to bed and 'its' in my head, I wake in the morning and the first thing I think is 'what way am I, thank god I'm OK'. With all this I know I will never be able to forget it, but life is about living and if you dwelled on it, you would never move on. So thats my bit for tonight,
