My re-birthday

Until it was 10th, I was sooo excited about my 're-birth'day.
On 10th morning, I woke up thinking of my lil friends at CMC who didnot make it till their BMt or through it, after the transplant. And those who are struggling to make it through after their BMT.
I have nothing to complain about.
So, I decided not to be alone. I went on a mindless road trip to mahabalipuram and pondicherry.. without suraj :(
I realised that I miss water, very silly for someone who lives in Chennai and close to the beach, but staying in the city does not leave me any time and energy to go to the beach for a walk or just to feel the water on my feet.
Just being near the sea made me feel at peace, very calm. I had people around me, but it was all silent inside. Came back home in the night, exhausted and feeling good :)

I wanted to start a blog in the first year of transplant and here I am. Briefly, I am Shakuntala, also called many different names by people I know. January 2009 shook me up, when I was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Lukemia (AML) and since then I have been fighting it, along with family and friends. My BMT was on 10-Dec-09, new life, rebirth, thanks to my unknown donor, here I am!!
