No way has it been almost four years. What a journey. I lost weight pretty well. I thought that I had it all under control. In May of 08..I woke up in a wicked amount of PAIN!! It was Memorial Day weekend and I was suppose to be flying to North Carolina in a day or so. I managed to shower..but lo and behold I had to call the ambulance.I felt a sharp pain go up my left arm. My stomach was killing me and I could not get comfortable no matter which way I turned. So there I lay in University of Michigan ER. Then came the news.I had a bowel obstruction and would need surgery. In spite of my plans..the surgery was a priority. The recovery was horrible!! I stayed in the hospital for 8 days. I came home with a tube in my stomach that had to be flushed...not to mention a new 6 inch scar in the middle of my belly. My white blood count was 26,000. This meant that my body was fighting off an infection. Thank God I survived.
