Day 1. 16th of November 2020


Today my journey back home literally started with an actual journey. I was transported by ambulance from Ward 35 of James Cook hospital in Middlesbrough to a dedicated and highly regarded rehabilitation unit in London. 
Leaving Ward 35 was a bitter sweet experience. On the one hand I was starting the next stage of my journey but on the other hand I was leaving a wonderful team of people who have treated, encouraged and cared for me and have been like a surrogate family. I’ve been truly blessed to spend these last few months with them.
While it was emotional leaving them all this morning, today marks a new beginning for me and my family. 
I’m starting this blog in order to share this part of my recovery with others and to celebrate the fact that I am still here and now I’m on my way... home!
