This Be My (B)log
Caroline Bridges (COM'09) writes about living with cancer in her blog. "
On December 10, 2006, the day after Caroline Bridges (COM’09) learned that she had acute lymphocytic leukemia, she started to blog. Four months later, This Be My (B)log is a thoughtful, engaging, and remarkably unself-conscious journal about what it means to live every day in the present tense.
“My goal,” says Bridges, "was mainly just to keep an interesting account of something most 20-year-olds don’t ever go through.”
In a recent posting, Bridges, who won third prize in BU Today’s Show Us Your Blogs contest, shares the good news that once again, she could return home after another stay in the hospital.
This is what she says: “One of the things about the hospital is that it is never quiet. I am hooked up to a hydration pump the entire time I’m there, which is loud. But there are also nurses and air vents and carts and people crying out in pain during their biopsies. I always come home and am shocked by how quiet my house is. Right now, for instance, there are no sounds in my house. Okay, my fridge just turned on, but that’s about it. So my ears are taking their sweet time in readjusting to the lack of sound.”
