It's been almost a year since I went to the ER. When I look back at the past year, I am thankful that I am alive. I was fighting for my life and now I have a second chance. This time last year I was so sick, more so than I thought. I was on many medications that would have caused my body more damage long term. I was in constant stomach pain. Everything I ate caused me severe pain and I was becoming weak on a daily basis.
I strongly believe that everything happens for a reason and we only go through things that we can handle. It has been a very long road. I have had major surgeries. They haven't all been successful and I never thought I'd be going on my sixth surgery knowing there's even more to come. If you had asked me a year ago where I'd be, I wouldn't have thought this. Although it's been tough, I am happy to be here and to be HEALTHY!
