Countdown time

"Courage is being really really scared but jumping in anyway".
I want to live this quote, I want this to be true for me.

It's 2 weeks to go! After five years of chronic back pain I am undergoing a peripheral nerve stimulation operation on 3rd February in an attempt to improve my quality of life and be able to work again. This blog will chart the final lead up - the anticipation, the nerves, the fear, the excitement about the possibilities and follow my recovery afterwards. This is my first ever blog post. I've never been much of a fan of all the new technologies - ipods, iphones, twitter etc. so I'm surprising even myself with this new venture!

  1. This is amazing Amy. I am so happy you are doing this, especially for us as we are so far away. This will give us an opportunity to really know what's going on and I think it will be very good for you, writing it. Which reminds me, I must get back into blogging myself. It's been too long! We love you heaps and pray for you daily, our dear Amy. Hugs, Gaynor

  2. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you count down to surgery. You are a delight to know and I wish you all the best for a recovery that brings the zing back into all aspects of life. You and Tim are on my work screen saver - so you are in my mind countless times every working day. lots of love, Cheryl F
