My story at a second chance at life....photos

It has taken me sometime to able to tell my story because it is full of pain....something I never dreamed I would go through. It is crazy how in a year your world can turn upside down,but I have decided if my story can help someone else it is worth it. hen my life started to change if others looked at it they would say the perfect story book life. A husband of 26 years that was the love of my life,Three beautiful children and grandchildren,The big fine home,New car....southern Living magazine is the best way to explain it.Then in a year it all changed. It started with the death of my mom that was my best friend .Not only her death,but me being there when it was happening and watching it.hen something like this happens you need the ones you love and I should have known something was wrong when I called my husband and he couldn't come be with .I guess I was not wanting to see the truth. I went back to my home still totally broken and living a depressing live.Mothersday was very hard,but my husband,daughter and i decided to go eat out. Of course being a holiday we had a long wait so we decided to go to a sports store and look around.Little did I know this would once again change my life. As we were walking through the store they had these huge cutting boards like you use for cutting Deer(6x4) set up in the middle isle.As I walked by they started to fall.Three of them feel and crushed my right ankle.Here I sit with blood running down my ankle and can't walk. I ended up on crutches. A few months later i had a son getting married in Texas and I knew no matter what I had to be there. YEP you guessed it..the husband just couldn't go. The day of my sons wedding as we were on the way I was in a head on collision. Here I lay in a hospital A crushed ankle and now a car wreck. I called home again and falling apart i needed the man in my life,BUT he just couldn't get away. hat do I do? How do I get home? I feel so helpless.Needless to say I made it home alone with no help from anyone.I knew God made me a tough woman,but I sure didn't know I had this strength. Now im sitting at home so bruised up and that i can hardly use my crutches....Just lock myself up right? No not hard headed me I had to get out....we had rode out to my daughters to visit just to get out,but when we returned it was dark I didn't know that my husband had propped a ten pound weight under the carport. As I walk by it falls on my toe and crushes the end off......blood going every where and my toe barley holding on I head to the ER once again.they sew my toe back on,but the pain was horrible. Now I have a crushed ankle,beat up and bruised up from the wreck and a toe crushed on the other foot.I really thought just let me die. I can't do anything...im now in a wheel chair and on pain medication.i started to gain weight and gain more weight.I can't really move much at all so what could I do? It couldn't get worse could it? You darn right it did....not long after this maybe a few months I started to bleed?OMG what can be wrong now? Once again I went to see my doctor....I bleed eleven weeks before they decided I needed a complete hysterectomy.God please not surgery...I knew at this point I had all I could take.I would be layed up in bed and recovering for eight long weeks.Laying in bed gaining more weight.If I hadn't been depressed enough it had really set in now for sure. I tried so hard to pick myself up and move on with my life. It had to get better....NOT....just three months after my recovery my husband of 27 years kisses me good bye one morning and walks out that night never to return.I found out he had been cheating for sometime.I felt I had lost everything in my life and had no reason to live. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2r38t5g&quot; target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/2r38t5g.jpg&quot; border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>

After a few months of wanting to die I decided to live!!!!!! I looked in the mirror and ask who are you? I searched deep inside and remembered who I was and what I loved to do before I met my husband. I loved to hike,dance,workout and that is just what I did. I joined a gym ,started to eat right and LIVE again. Oh it wasn't easy...the court dates are still going on after 16 months.My ankle and toe both still hurt when I walk,run and exercise BUT I will and have not gave up. Im living again in away I never have. I LOVE me now and continue to grow each day. I know one day God will send me that special man to enjoy my life with,but while I wait I am thankful for the chance for a second life.
