โIf you've just found this place, I was in the same place nearly four years ago. Back then it was a failed transfer last month. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
โA note for the next person. I was in the same place nearly four years ago. The worst part was people saying just relax. Last month I had people round for dinner. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Hang on.โ
โWhen you start this, you will feel like you are the only one hiding needles in a bathroom. You are not. Some days will be just waiting. Some days you will be angry at the world. That is okay.

And ask your doctor every question you have, even the silly ones. You will get through this, even if the result is not what you planned.โ
