Poisoned by my own blood, I lie there drained. Infused toxins coursed through my veins. Hair loss. Cell death. Sloughing off old self.
Then Transplantation Day arrived. One tiny IV bag of life-saving proportion. For three weeks, I cocooned in a hospital bed.
When discharge came, I unfurled my wings.
Christa Planko is in remission, surviving leukemia after undergoing a bone marrow transplant. She is happy to flutter about today, sharing the story of her life-saving transformation.
So lyrical and light, yet I feel the heaviness underlying each line. So well done 🙌
Magnificent
Wow! Amazing you’ve summarised so much in just 50 words. Enjoy your wings!
Love the ending!
Ditto!
Tender story, in so few words. Poignant.
So beautiful and brave
Thank you
