I want

Today I want to live and see tomorrow,
And then I want to eat pizza, 
I want to play 5-a-side,
I want to watch the sunset in my new bedroom, 
I want to curl up with Bex on the sofa, 
I want an ice cold coke, 
I want to go to the beach, 
I want to do the school run, 
I want to sing loudly when everyone's out, 
I want to go to the cinema, 
I want to walk in the Transplant Games opening parade, 
I want to make jokes about willies, 
I want to be less yellow, 
I want to go to a gig, 
I want to play board games, 
I want to climb a tree, 
I want a massage at a spa, 

Yet not my will but yours.....

Today I want to trust God with whatever tomorrow He has planned.

At the start of June, while I sat in a room at the Royal Free, oblivious to the covid that was about to scupper my plans to pop downstairs for a new liver, I wrote a list of things I wanted to do after I had had the transplant.  This is an update on how I'm getting on with the list:- I want to eat pizza. The hospital catering chose not to fulfil this desire and the doctors sent me home on a no fat diet for a week (I checked and pizza does have some fat). However, I believe I achieved this goal within the first few days after the no fat diet ended. Tick.  I want to play 5-a-side. Sport has been a source of contention between me and the Drs. I am incredibly keen to get out and play all the sports. They are incredibly keen that I don't give myself a hernia. But from 6 months post op they say I can go for it, so I expect to tick this off the list in the coming weeks.  I want to watch the sunset in my new bedroom. I   realise the wording here could lead to a misunderstand...

Bags

Bags are boring. Plastic bags are boring and frustrating because you can't open them without licking them and, for a good amount of the last couple of years, you couldn't lick them unless you fed the bag inside your face mask and then you end up looking like an idiot*. Designer handbags are boring and also annoying because they pretend not to be boring by costing the same as a small car but they are still just a bag. Suitcases are boring unless they have wheels and you are under 8 and can ride them carefree around the airport. Bin bags sit in a pile and silently mock you for forgetting bin day yet again. Sleeping bags are literally the worst kind of bedding. Teabags make tea which is the epitome of a boring drink. Bagpuss is mind numbingly dull. Bagpipes are a kind of musical GBH etc etc.  And quite possibly the absolute worst thing about being on the transplant waiting list is having to pack a bag to take to the hospital when it's time to go and pick up your new liver.
