Title: 1year anniversary or "new birthday"
Post by: alabamajane on October 27, 2012, 06:21:32 am

Morning fellow ANers,  (and happy second anniv. To Bob-- chances3 too)

One year ago today at this time I was prepping for an 11 hr surgery,,,translab which took about 6 hrs longer than expected,,,it has definitely been THE hardest year of my life,, but progress is being made,,so hang in there new posties.....

I hope all of you in recovery good things, you just have to take it slowly and not try to rush things,,,it does get better,, I am better than a year ago but far from "whole" emotionally and physically ,,

If you are newly diagnosed ,, take your time and research options and prepare yourself as best you can,,, gotta go and start this new day,,,,,,,,see what lies ahead,, best wishes to all Jane

Jane ~

Happy (one year AN surgery) anniversary!  I'm glad to learn that things have improved for you after the early recovery struggles you endured.  I'm sure you'll soon be 'whole' because, when it comes to AN surgery healing, time is definitely on our side. 

Jim
