On the 2nd March, I went to my good friend Christina's 30th birthday party. This was a night I had been looking forward to for a while. It was a chance for me to go and feel like a human being again. A chance to be myself rather than somebody's mother. Duncan looked after Rory so I could have a night out.
But as the date drew closer I felt quite nervous. It felt so long since I'd been out anywhere. I was feeling depressed. My body will not be the same as it was, and I knew there would be a lot of beautiful, glamorous people there. I wondered if I would struggle to hold a conversation.
My friends Emma and Peter picked me up and off went to the Crown Casino where Christina had booked a function room. The theme was 'white'. My dress was one of my quickest clothing purchases ever. I saw it, ran into the shop, tried it on and paid for it in record time while Duncan comforted a screaming Rory. It was a really good night. I didn't last very long as I was so exhausted after the trip to Perth and weeks of broken sleep. But I did it. I went out. I made conversation. And I wore something other than trackies or PJs.
