Almost one year out! Long, with LOTS of pictures!
Ok, pass the freaking Kleenex, I'm all blubbering like an idiot here!
Jessy, you've always impressed me. You are such a beautiful, mature, thoughtful, impressive young woman. I wish I possessed even half of your poise, and I'm probably older than your mom! I knew some of your story, but your post was very enlightening. I'm so very sorry about the loss of your uncle, but out of that tragedy came a miracle. I'm so, so, so relieved that you kept giving yourself more time, and that you gave OH another shot, we are all so much richer for having you part of our "family".
Congrats on your 1 year surgiversary! I can't believe that it has been a year. I remember clearly checking posts to see how you were doing, if you'd made it to Brazil ok, how your surgery went, how your trip home was, etc. Time flies when your sliding down the scales, huh?

Hi Jessy, thank you so much for sharing your story with us. I have seen you post but didn't know your whole story. You are aazing and so mature for such a young lady. As I read your story, I am sitting here just crying, but got a giggle out of the Kanye pic. I've got to dry my eyes and get myself together before heading out to work, but thank you for sharing your story.
Wow Jessy - that's an amazing story! Congrats on doing everything you could to save your life! Keep workin that DS! Can't wait to hear even more progress reports from you!
