100 Days of Happy

Day 39 - Comfort definitely has it's place - April 17th

Tonight I thought I would mention a few high value comfort items that have made this journey so much more pleasant!  

First of all, at the beginning of this journey, my daughter's friend, who I had never met, made a blanket out of that soft minky material and gifted it to me. It certainly overwhelmed me that anyone could be so kind and generous to someone she had never met! What made it so incredibly special, was the night my daughter delivered it to me, I was having a reaction to the bone marrow biopsy, and was laying on the couch. This blanket felt like a warm layer of love, comforting me through the night.  It has definitely been my go to blanket any time I am in need of extra comfort! Yes, it's my 'blanky' and I'm afraid I might go through withdrawal should anyone ever try to take it away. I guess we'll  have to do like they do with young children and just cut smaller and smaller pieces off of it as it wears out!

Next comes my microwave heating pads, I have 3, all different sizes,  I heat them each night and they come to bed with me, somehow those aches and pains just melt away!  The only down side is when the power is out, I am out of luck! 

Thirdly, is the most comfortable night gown ever! Also given to me as a gift, for our stay-cation at the Patient Housing.  It is large and made from completely recycled material, and it is incredibly soft.

Lastly, and not leastly, at this time,  COMFORT FOOD! Seems like I have no problem getting any thing in this category down.  I think I am seeing visions of my old self returning, that's not all good, but it sure is comforting!
