Today is the Spring Equinox and the days are getting longer and spring is really happening now.
This morning started very gently, the sun was shining and it was a very nice spring day.
Then I had a huge shock when Richie hoisted me out of bed and put me into the shower chair, as he had discovered blood in my catheter.
One of my nightmares is blood flowing in the catheter; luckily it turned out to be a blood clot which happens quite often with catheters and not flowing blood.
Still it gave me quite a turn and got me very upset, especially as it was so sunny and lovely.
It was the last thing on my mind, but then again why should it be on my mind especially on a day like today.
I guess that this is always in the back of my mind and how can it be otherwise with this nasty disease.
What I try to do is be aware without thinking about it all the time and letting it drive me mad with worry.
A difficult balancing act but one which I try to do everyday, most days I manage well and I did even today.
