Sincere apologies for only
just updating my blog since December. I know people have been wondering what's
going on, it's only now I feel I can update you a little bit. It seems a life
time ago we were celebrating Christmas & New Year, I hope it's all started
off as well as it possibly can for you.
I however, have not been
myself for a good few months now, some of which is down to CF / Transplant etc
but a great deal is down to me not being able to cope with certain things. I
became a recluse in many ways, I didn't & still haven't, seen many people
or been able to socialise. My classes have ground to a halt for now & I'm
seeking all the help I can.
I am not going to go into
details about what's been going as I do like to keep things private, it has
nothing to do with the fact I am struggling with the transplant concept
however. In fact, it's pretty much the opposite, I feel completely guilty that
I have felt so down about things when I have been given another chance to live
a full (ish) life.... However, I am only human & can't help that things
have got to much for me to deal with.
This being said, I have
been able to recognise this fact & asked for help before it got too much. I
am now being well looked after with the help of my medical teams, husband &
a couple close friends to get myself back on track, it may take a few good
months but I am already better than I was & looking forward to getting back
to the old Kimberley, or maybe even a better one ???
I have been back &
forth to Harefield & Exeter the last two months with several appointments,
tests & procedures. I still have things going on but as always, this will
just be a part of life as it always has been. I must say, having to be away
from my gorgeous family for a couple of days & the travel is awful but it's
always nice to catch up with my transplantee friends when we are in Harefield
together...

I have a few exciting /
interesting things to tell you about before I sign off today... ( I have a
little writers block as it's been so long)
Stefan surprised me with a
road trip to see Shaun again at his new premises of Crocodiles Of The World in Oxford at the beginning of the month. The place was
brilliant, I had a wonderful day spending time with Stef which always lifts my
spirits & came back with some goodies too.

All my zoo are doing
great, I found some little eggs on New Years day in my Crested Gecko tank &
last week, after being in my incubator they hatched! Beautiful little tiny's I
have so much love for! The day was made even better by finding two more eggs buried
in the afternoon!

The dog & skunk babies
were made famous last week after having a little article printed about their
friendship in Chat magazine this week (pub date 26 Feb) they are on page 54
& very pleased with themselves :)
I went to the cinema for
the first time in yonks to see Fifty Shades Of Grey with my friends which was a
great evening & I am looking forward to going to Crufts for a day in
March... Until then, good days will come & go & I will continue to
battle my demons a step at a time.

Thank you for taking the
time to read as always & for understanding things are just a bit difficult
at this time xxxxx
