Although I've been saying since last year that it was wonderful not to have to think about going for a check-up at the hospital again, it's only in the last day or two that I've really come to terms with the fact that I don't have that hanging over me this year. Every January since 2005, I've had a hospital visit that's filled me with trepidation and sometimes left me in tears when I was treated as a piece of meat rather than a real person (both times, it was a consultant who had that effect - the nursing staff have always been terrific!)
This morning, the reality finally dawned on me - no hospital visit this month. I feel as though a door has opened and I'm able, at last, to walk through it.
