Merry Christmas!

Hey everyone!!
I just wanted to thank everyone so, so much for all your support during my journey to recovery. Knowing that there are people that care so much really helps! So thank you all. I also wanted to give a huge thank you to everyone that has helped by donating, making my treatment possible. It means so much!!
Well, I thought it’s been awhile since a blog entry and I should let you all know how I’m doing. I feel AMAZING!!! Better than I have in years! I still have to take things really slow and continue to recover, but I am feeling really, really great. I have been able to play piano and guitar again :p which I am really enjoying. I’ve even started to compose a song :D I have also been able to venture out and make it to a few christmas barbeques which has been exciting, as it was something I wouldn’t have been able to do previously. I know it’s still early days and I have to take things slow, but so far the trip has been a complete success. I am so very grateful to the fantastic team of doctors in Monterrey for giving me my life back. I hadn’t been able to remember, or imagine a life without pain, and they have made it possible for me.
I also thought I should let people know, I have a new kitten :p Her name is Jazz and she is ADORABLE. Though a little naughty – she loves to climb our Christmas tree. Jazz and Fred (the turtle) are still sorting each other out, hehe.
Well thank you all again! I hope you all have a really great Christmas and also if you’re ever in the area, I’d love for you to come and visit!
Lots and lots and lots of love,
Emma xox

  1. Dear Emma,

    What wonderful news! They ARE an amazing team of doctors in Monterrey! You are right to take things slowly. Pain had been a prt of your every moment for a long time so it will take some time to get your brain trained to remember what is "normal". Stay positive and keep doing things that you enjoy doing but do them slowly and take rests! Thank you for updating your blog and sending along happy news. Thank God for prayers answered!

  7. Hi there Emma,
    Great news to hear that you are recovering well and able to enjoy life without so much pain.
    You have been in my prayers since I found out via Facebook what you've been going through with RSD. I wish you all the best with regaining your life...in my mind I still picture you as the sweet wee girl I taught at Marian School way back in the year 2000 - you guys had just moved up from Alexandra:)
    May God bless you and keep you safe,
    Love Helen McGuigan a.k.a Miss M xx
