Part 2
I woke up in recovery in lots of pain unaware of just what happen confused totally mind blown WOW I DID IT!! I made it! So I was so soar in lots of pain needing lots of pain meds and this went on for several hours plus I have severe anxiety to the point I had the nurses come in several times. Finally came the day I got to go home! Woo hoo! I couldn’t be happier so we get home and life begins but the Hell would only be Starting! I was always in so much pain plus I couldn’t keep anything thing down not even water 💦 I’ve had several visits to the ER was very dehydrated. One time my potassium was dangerously low they thought about hospitalizing me for it, they gave me 3 bags of stuff for my potassium 2 IVs in my arms. I couldn’t stop throwing up all the time and they didn’t know the cause of it. But I stopped all my Medicine and all my Vitamins for about 3weeks and things starts to settle down. I slowly introduce things back in Medicine and then vitamins and slowly food with it! By the 2mo. We slowly had progress and started to see the light and the End of the tunnel! Then I just took off from there and I started losing weight more and more and more I would go see the nurse practitioner they would be happy with my progress! I also workout 🏋️‍♂️ 3x a week at the gym and also go walking with Todd around our sub division. If your all interested in what I eat , I eat a lot of salads 🥗 chicken, eggs 🥚 tuna, fruits 🍎 veggies 🥕I’m working up to (fish) ugh 😩 so I’ve made a lot of progress in the last almost 6month November 31 and I’ll continue to keep you guys posted on my Journey. I know it doesn’t seem like much has been shared but I’m only beginning we got this!! Let go..

💖💖Until you take %100 responsibility for your life, the good, the bad and the ugly.. your life will not change...All the qualities you admire in others is a reflection of the same qualities in you, the qualities you do not admire is a reminder to do better!!

You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending! In your pain lies a blessing!!💕💕

🦋🦋Don’t ever give up on yourself. This life is going to challenge you and knock you down, but you can never give up! When you feel like you’ve given it your all, and there’s nothing left, remember you have power. You ARE the creator of your own reality💖💖Your current situation is not your final destination!🙌🏾🙌🏾Remember who you are! Keep dreaming! Keep fighting! Keep growing! Keep learning! Others may give up on you but NEVER give up on yourself!!

So my Journey began on May 31st! was my my surgery day. Boy was I nervous as hell my body was about to go through a change! I had a lot of thoughts running though my head at the time before the surgery I even thought about backing out. I thought what if I don’t make it what if what if… all the what if’s. Todd at the time tried calming me down even the nurses came in to talk to me. Telling me it would be ok. That sorta eased my fears. But I was still alittle nervous. I got back to the surgery room they laid me on the table they hook me up to all these wires and machines. They gave me something to relax I started to feel calmer. Next thing I last remember they told me to count backwards from 10 and that’s the last thing I remember!
Stay tune for part 2 of the Story! 😉
