It has been a while since i have been here. The weight I lost was gained back plus some. It has been a very long and hard 5 years. August 2012 - I ended up with back surgery due from sciatica nerve. I am left with nerve damage in my legs but I am thankful I am walking. I do have a limp and there are a lot of things I cannot do but there are things I can do.
A year later July 29 of 2013 was my biggest battle and still is on some days. I had my thyroid removed. I was given a diagnosis of thyroid cancer. I had a total thyroidectomy. My doctor told me that it would probably take about 4 years to feel some type of normal. He was right. I have a new normal. I cannot do things like I use to but each day is a new day and my goal is to do little more each day than the day before. No matter if I have a good day or bad day I am blessed.
It is time to get my life back and I am filled with so much excitement!
