    wow.....very moving. I'm so glad you are still here to be a mother and a wife :-)

    I'm sure after that experience you don't need us to tell you to stick with healthy eating habbits....what a wake up moment you went through!

    I would suggest looking into movies like " food inc"...."king corn" and " the beautiful truth" for some insight on how your body can heal itsself with the proper foods...
    I wish you all the best.

    OMG is the first thing I can think of to say. THANK God you are o.k. is the second. and THANK YOU for sharing your story is the 3rd.

    We have been blessed with another day to get it right - good luck to you on this new adventure. I am 48 & afraid that I may not get to see my Grandchildren grow up. They bring such great joy to me. I want to be here as long as possible.

    Your story is being taken to heart by many of us. (((HUGS))) to you.

    Linda,
    I faced several of the same things a couple of years ago when I was in my mid thirties...It is devastating to have your doctor tell you that you are 35 but living in the body of a 70 year old! It took me a while to stop feeling sorry for myself, but I finally did and I started my healthful journey almost a year ago. Good luck and I will be here to support you!!
