Day 0+348 days
Today marks one year since I was admitted to the hospital in Moscow, and again I will say how the time has flown and what a year it has been!! (Warning... this next month may or may not be filled with continual memory blogs again and again, okay so the "may not" is crap as of course it will be!!).
I think about it constantly at the moment and look at the photos of what I was doing "this time last year". It all feels surreal, the preparation and waiting that went into this amazing and significant event in my life seemed to take so long to arrive and now here we are a year later already.
I would have liked to compare what I did today to what I did this day last year but since I sat in an airport this morning, then on a plane, then sorted bags and did washing, and then was pretty exhausted from not sleeping enough last night my day wasn't all that exciting! So instead I'll compare it to what I did yesterday, now that was pretty significant compared to where I was "this time last year!".
So as you (may) and I (really) remember, "this time last year" I could not walk very far without extreme difficultly and the use of a cane (and at times also a wheelchair). Walking around the markets in Moscow was exhausting and the trip to the Red Square although amazing was very brief as it was way too hard. On the day of my admittance getting from the gate to reception and then to the hospital ward at A.A. Maximov was also difficult to say the least!!

| Walking around the markets was tough but amazing to see! |
 |
| Finally got to meet Dr Fedorenko and Anastasia who changed my life! |
 |
| The beautiful hospital. |
 |
| My first room and I was very lucky to have a private room with a couch which Paul enjoyed using! |
Well yesterday Paul, Seb and I were in Adelaide and I walked from the hotel to the zoo, around the zoo, to the museum, around the museum, to the mall, through the mall and back to the hotel - a total of 13,110 steps. I think this is my most amount of steps I've stepped in a day since return and if I do say so myself I think this is pretty bloody AMAZING!!!!!
 |
| What a great day! |
 |
| Loved being able to spend the day just walking around! |
If this is what I can do after a year, imagine what I'll be able to do after another!
