Most everyone knows my story but for the new ones I am going to give the short version. I just lived a year of Hell at the hands of a Surgon that lied about his credability, He was a General Surgon saying he was a Bariatric surgon. Well after 10 Dr.s even some wanting 5,000 dollars just to look at my records. So Dr. Ronald Clements from UAB (university Alabama in Birmingham) took me on and told me he would get my life back. Well He got in there and not only did I have a fissula, the original surgon had knicked my diaphram and it healed around my main Autory (SP) leaing to my intestins, They got enough blood to stay alive but not to function or absorb. I went a year like this in so much pain. Without the pain meds in withch I talked to you alot of you and hardly remember sorry but the pain meds were a nessecary evil I would have blown my head off from the pain. Pain worse that labor 24/7. I have been home 3 weeks now and I am doing awsome. Dr. Clements told me he has me fixed I just had to mentally get past the pain so I have. I am proud to say the only thing I take is Tylonol when I have a headache. Of course I have top take Meds for my bleeding ulcer and that seems to be under control. I almost lost my life twice this year but you know I would still do it all over again. I just wish my Dad were here to see me doing so much better, I know he is watching down on me. When he got to heaven they figured out what was finally what was wrong with me and I like to think he got up there and told God My babies need there mother. I was told I would not live to see 40 since I was 32 because I have 3 stients in my heart and my Colesterol was 480 the day of surgery well now its 115. What more can I ask for I am doing better and better every day, Getting in my water Protein and eating 6 times a day. I am still loosing weight but I think that will balance out. I am at 110 now and size 3. I dont even think I wore that in High school. My family has survived all of this and I just praise the Lord every day for getting us through this. Love and peace to all and have a very Merry Christmas, and Happy New year. Love you all Renee A. P.S if you can throw in a few more prayers for my mom to find peace I would appreciate it.
