Tell us, tell us what happened

...

so it was after I'd had my second child, and I'd had a cesarean, and the nurse...

You have to have the blood thinning injections after you've had a cesarean, but you do after any, I think, major surgery.

You've got to have the blood thinners.

And the nurse had come in and, and given me the blood thinning injection.

I was completely out of it.

What's the one piece of advice you'd give, uh, you'd give to someone who's fac- facing a proper bit of difficulty?

Yeah

... not saying it to my husband that that's what I was worried about.

I thought, "We'll just all break if I do." So then came to the surgery and saying goodbye to my kids, going in, thinking, "I don't know if I'll see you again." They didn't come to the hospital, obviously, but my parents were at the hospital.

My husband was at the hospital.

Saying goodbye to them to be wheeled down to surgery, oh my God, it was absolutely horrendous.

But luckily, I woke up in intensive care, and the happiest feeling I've ever had in my life, like, it was that feeling of waking and being, "Oh my God, I'm alive.

I'm a- I'm alive," and thinking...

How were you punching through those? What is it about you that just kept the kind of sense of mission, but also the positivity?
