<\/a>IT WAS CRUCIAL FOR ME TO BE CLOSE TO MY BROTHER IN APRIL. HE HAD ANOTHER 5 CANCEROUS GROWTHS CUT OUT OF HIS HEAD & NECK. IN AUGUST I HAD 4 GROWTHS ON MY NOSE, 3 MORE INSIDE MY NOSE, 2 ON MY CHEEK & 1 BELOW MY SHOULDER REMOVED. IT WAS WONDERFUL TO BE CLOSE TO MY BROTHER AND TO GIVE & RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM EACH OTHER.<\/p>\n
I WON\u2019T SAY MUCH ABOUT THE PREVIOUS HOME \u2013 SUFFICE TO SAY IT ALMOST BROKE ME \u2013 BUT MY NAME IS NOT \u201cTROUBLE 01\u201d FOR NOTHING!<\/p>\n
THE OTHER HOME HAD 90-ODD RESIDENTS \u2013 THIS ONE HAS 40-ODD RESIDENTS. THERE\u2019S A NURSING SISTER ON DUTY 24-HOURS \u2013 DAY & NIGHT, AND HIGHLY-TRAINED, COMPETENT CARERS. THERE ARE NO VISITING HOURS \u2013 PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED TO COME & GO FREELY.<\/p>\n LET ME TRY TO GIVE YOU A GLIMPSE INTO MY LIFE: I SHARE A BEDROOM WITH AN ELDERLY LADY. FORMALLY AN OFFICE, THE COUNTER-TOP HAS MY COMPUTER, PRINTER, WHEELCHAIR CHARGER \u2013 AND I STILL HAVE SPACE. PHOTO\u2019S ON THE WALL. HOME AWAY FROM HOME.<\/p>\n DURING MY YEAR HERE, I HAVE MET A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE AND MADE NEW FRIENDS. I\u2019VE TAKEN PART IN A WHEEL CHAIR RACE – AND HAVE PRACTICED DANCING WITH MY WHEELCHAIR AND EVEN STANDING UP WHEN A MUSICIAN (WHO IS NOW MY FRIEND) CAME TO PLAY HERE.<\/p>\n I\u2019D BE LYING IF I SAY FINANCES DON\u2019T WORRY ME \u2013 OF COURSE THEY DO. AS WE ALL KNOW, EVERYTHING GETS MORE & MORE EXPENSIVE. I KNOW THERE WILL BE THE YEARLY INCREASE OF THE HOME IN JANUARY. BUT IT DOESN\u2019T HELP TO PANIC \u2013 SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN TO KEEP ME HERE! IT BETTER \u2013 AS I\u2019VE GOT NOWHERE ELSE TO GO!!!<\/p>\n BUT THERE\u2019S ONE THING I REALLY WANT TO TELL YOU ALL: NEVER FEEL YOUR DONATION IS TOO SMALL \u2013 IT ALL ADDS UP. YES, MY BUDGET IS TIGHT, BUT EACH MONTH I SAVE WHAT I CAN & WHEN I HAVE ENOUGH I BUY NEW CLOTHING AND A LUXUARY COOL DRINK IN SUMMER & SOMETIMES EVEN AN ICE-CREAM!<\/p>\n ALL BAD FOR THE FIGURE!<\/p>\n WORDS CAN NEVER EXPRESS MY GRATTITUDE TO YOU ALL.<\/p>\n GOD BLESS YOU.<\/p>\n JENNY<\/p>\n (BETTER KNOWN AS \u201cTROUBLE 01\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 AND PROUD OF IT!)<\/p>\n Ps.
