Hi Nancy, Welcome fellow newbie. This is a really good support group. I've only been around a few days, but they've made an impression on me. I've been in a couple of other groups and I watched them fall apart do to pettiness. I don't see that happening here. Bravo Group..........
When faced with an illness of unknown outcome, all we can do is keep on living. When I hemorrhaged(at age 27) my odds were: 95% death and 5% life, if I did live there was a 75% chance of being a vegitable. Boy were they wrong! I WAS blind and paralyzed on my right side, but before I left the hospital I had my vision back, now I had double vision. Imagine, two of me in one room...lol Forgot to say I was walking on my own too. Now the next month I was admitted and told I had cardiomyopathy, only cure heart transplant by age, yea you guessed it.....45. My heart currently has a normal EF of more than 50%.(50 being normal)Now what would have happened to me if I had just given up. Then the divorce and losing custody of my son 6 months later, and on top of it all, not being able to work anymore. Couldn't get help from the state(FL)for the medically needy, social security took their sweet time turning me down, 5 years before a hearing. Then seizures and panic attacks started, no driving. I drive now and still have seizures but I don't and never have had a convulsive seizure, I don't lose consciousness. And a whole slew of other %$#@(*& conditions since then.
Oh I still cry when given a new dianosis, but it's only momentary, then I get over it and KEEP ON LIVING. Hope this encourages you some. I look forward in getting to know you and everyone else here. (((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))
Be Well!
