I went into hospital for my third operation. I was having
the tendons in my calves released. I was in a children’s hospital because at
the time I was only sixteen. It
was painful. I had emails from Carrie Hope Fletcher, which I’d acquired prior
to the visit. They really inspired me and helped me to keep strong. I read them
every night before I went to sleep. I cannot even express how much that meant
to me. The emails were sent via myspace back in the days myspace was cool! I’ve
actually met Carrie and thanked her endlessly. To think a superstar like her,
would care about me is mind-blowing. So once again, Carrie thank you, your
words really were magic!
Visitors made me feel a lot better, as they always do. But
it was the result of a text I received that really spurred me on to get out of
hospital. The text said something
like: It’s been a couple of days, I haven’t heard from you and am scared for
you. Although my legs still hurt, from the moment I got that text I
was determined to leave hospital, merely so I could get in contact with this
person. (At the time I had a pay as you go contract and I had run out of money
on it for that month. Typical teenager!) It was the love I felt for this person
that got me out of hospital, and the fact that I didn’t want that person
worrying unnecessarily. My legs honestly felt like lead, but I was determined
to tell this person that I was Ok that I took a few steps which allowed me to
go home.
