WELL MY LIFE FOCUSES ARROUND MY KIDS. AND HUSBAND. WE HAVE 4 KIDS 13, 12, 8 AND 3. I LIVE WITH THEM AND MY HUSBAND OF ALMOST 9 YEARS NOW.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT THE PAST 3 YEARS. AFTER I GAVE BIRTH TO MY 4TH CHILD I HAD MY TUBES TIED THE NEXT DAY AND DURING THAT THE DR CUT MY VAIN AND RIGHT ILIAC ARTERY. I LOST LOTS OF BLOOD AND HAD TO BE TRANSFERD TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL. AT THE NEW HOSPITAL THE DR'S WEREN'T SURE IF MY LEG WAS GOING TO HAVE TO BE AMPUTATED. TURNED OUT MY LEG WAS SAIVED BUT I HAVE BLOOD CLOTS. I WILL BE ON BLOOD THINNERS FOR LIFE I ENEDED GAINING WEIGHT AND GREW ABOUT 7 HERNIAS. I ENDED UP HAVEING EMERGENCY SURGERY TO REMOVE THEM THAT WAS JAN OF 06 THEN IN JULY MY HUSBAND WAS TAKEN IN TO CUSTUDY BY INS. AND I FOUGHT VERY HARD TO GET HIM HOME BUT IT WAS A LONG HARD FIGHT WITH LOTS OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS HELP. BUT WE MADE IT. ALMOST A YEAR LAITER AND HE WAS FINALY RELEASED. BUT IT WAS ALL A STRUGGLE AND WORTH IT. NOW I DECIDED TO GO THROUGH THE SURGERY AND I HAD IT DONE OCTOBER 30,2007. IT WAS SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY.
