A year ago today (2/17) I was admitted to the hospital because my body was trying to tell me something, and apparently it felt like writing in my own blood. I didn't know it was leukemia for a few more days -- and that day sticks out in my mind for many, many reasons -- but I still consider today the anniversary of my illness. I remember how tired and confused I was, and how determined to take care of myself still. I don't remember receiving 4 units of blood in the urgent care clinic, but I was told that I did. I do remember Teddy getting kicked out of my room after he was told he could spend the night with me, by security guards and everything! 2/17/09 was a pretty bad day, actually. It's been kind of a crazy year, but I've enjoyed it for the most part, believe it or not.
