Excitement

It's getting late this evening, so I'm going to make this quick! I just wanted to take this time to say how excited I am about this event. Not just a little bit excited. I mean, very, very excited. So much so that I break out in a smile every time I think about it. And I'm not usually a very smily person. Pain and stress make sure of that, but this event is changing that. It's truly giving me something to live for, to work towards.

The highlight of my day was when I went onto facebook today and say that there are nine confirmed guests for CRPS Retreat. NINE!!! It's been two days, and the response has been mind-blowingly awesome! (By the way, the event page on Facebook can be found at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=334668421250&ref=mf) Kaylee and I were talking last night, and I don't think either of us expected for the support to be this great. We are so grateful to everyone who has offered to help, and make this an enjoyable, and stress free time for everybody attending. And trust me, it is going to be amazing! We're at an early stage of planning, but it's panning out to be a great event.

I think the most exciting part of this all is that for every one person attending, that's one more person who won't feel as if they're alone in this world any longer. Seeing that there are so few of us, and that we're spread out all over the globe (proven by the fact Kaylee and I are organising this from both America and New Zealand!), this is going to give us all the opportunity to meet with people who truly understand what a life with CRPS is like. This event all began when Kaylee and I decided that there needed to be more support for CRPS patients internationally, and also the fact that neither of us had ever met someone in person with this condition. And here we are - now organising this!

Before I go, I just want to say how happy I am to working beside you, Kaylee. You amaze me every day with your strength and I don't know where I would be now, if I hadn't met you. Love you so much, and we are going to make this the best event EVER!

xx love to you all and thank you for supporting us! xx
