Today is almost like a birthday for Donnie, Shayna and I. Ten years ago, today, our lives changed dramatically. It was the day that the "health ordeal" started. Ten years ago today, Shayna was a wee one of only six weeks. I was at the mall, not feeling well. I came home and called my MIL to help with Shayna. Donnie was off somewhere in the Berkshires doing a professional development course. When my MIL came over she insisted that we went to the ER. This is where it all began.
Test, XRays, more tests... then I coded. The doctors told Donnie I wouldn't live through surgery. Those doctors were fired. Donnie kept looking and looking until he found one that tried. Finally, he found one, who not only tried, but saved my life. At that point, we didn't know if "life" as 3, 5, 10 or more years. Most people thought I would live "healthy" for about five years. But, hey we'd take it.
It has now been 10 years. I am pretty healthy. Not a "poster child" for perfect health - but hey I hold my own. There are good days - and bad days - but I have TIME on my side. I have had a great 10 years watching Shayna grow up. I have a fabulous 10 years with the man who is the love of my life.
I am not sure if this will continue to last or not. But I have personally learned to life each day to the fullest. You need to have a positive attitude and move forward.
I want to thank my darling husband, precious daughter and all those doctors/nurses who worked on me for endless hours, days, weeks and months to put me back together again.
Happy 10th Birthday !
