Thank you, you certainly know it's a long road back. You've had it rough too. I had a rare tumor, it took over nine month's and yes, 69 vials of blood to find out what was happening. They had to find out why I was leaching out copious amounts of calcium out of my bones. It took a long time to track. And I finally got to the point, I was sleeping 22 hours a day. I could barely walk from one side of a room to another. I didn't cook, clean, or anything...but get out of bed take a shower, and go back to bed. I ate when hubby came home and before he went to work. He made me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. The calcium was in my blood and kidneys so much, that I got kidney stones, and had to have lithotripsy, surgery...to break them up out of my kidney. Life is what is it is. Don't feel sorry for me, I enjoy each and every good moment, this has strengthen my faith, in God and humanity, I had wonderful and caring nurses along the way. I take nothing for granted, and love every good experience, and savor the time with family.

I was also in a bad car wreck 3 years ago, we were t boned. I was the passenger and it was a direct hit to me. I had to be cut out of the car. Now, my collar bone is right below my neck, so my breathing is hampered. But, like a timex, I take a licken and keep on ticken.
