It's been awhile since I've been here

Hello Everyone, 5 yrs ago I was a reg on here I took time off to get things done around here it's great to be back again, I went by little tiger. The 1st 4 yrs was great getting things in order & getting things done, but THIS yr was a bad nightmare, 9 mons ago I had health issues. My panceras & gallblader crashed on me, yeah you heard right, it danm near killed me TWICE I ended up in the hosp for 6 mos & in ICU for most of the time I was in the hosp, then was put into rehab for another 3 mos, I didn't get home till Sept. I've been home going on 4 mons now. When I got sick I didn't know how sick I was till after 4 mons in, the dr's told me how sick I had been that they didn't think I was going to pull through, I had 15 dr's working on me & a BUNCH of tubes, wires, ventalators, & put into a coma. They pulled gals of black stuff from me & never told me what it was, but when they told me how sick I was they were surprised I pulld through it I'm no quitter & by the grace of God I made it. With what I went through in them 6 mons I have sugar diabeties, that I'm trying to get on track I'm in the 3-400's & when I got out of the hosp I was in the 900's when I went & seen my reg dr. She was in AWE when I was standing in her office that day & told me I have to work on getting it down I was in a daze & couldn't grasp what I had went through till she read off what the report from the hospitals I was in reported what I had went through. I had seen her 3 wks B-4 I got sick & everything was good but when she found out I was in the hosp She was puzzled on what had happened, so NOW instead of seeing her once twice a yr, it's almost every month, even Husband is shocked I made it. Being as sick as I was I don't ever want to get that bad again, I've done a lot of research on diabeties & doing what I can from the internet, on what to eat when. When I came home I had to have a ramp cause my legs weren't strong enough to do steps, I was on a walker the 1st few wks being home, then a few wks later I put the walker up & got my husband cain. No he wasn't using it HA HA, it was a spare he had from the time I got out of rehab in a WHEEL CHAIR 3 mos later I'm walking on my own & going up & down steps. but still use the ramp at times, cause it's my front door, entrance, I've been doing my own therapy at home. I can't take all the credit on my 2nd chance in life from where I was to where I am, I'm a fighter, & believe in God has ALL the credit, for giving me a 2nd chance in life. This isn't the 1st time he has been there for me in life & death situations, but that's for another story to tell you. I thank him everyday, he shows me things as well as tells me, like the reason I got sick was the pollen from the trees I have been living under for 12 yrs & the dust that always found a way in my cabin, where every 3 dys I had to sweep, I would pick up more than it should be IF it the cabin was SEALED tight, to make it liviable. If you recieve blessings from the master & savoir of God God the ALMIGHTY give me a Amen. bless you.

It's good to be back after all these yrs of not being here even though I was debating on if I really wanted to come back, but being I was in recovery of going through all I went through I thought it might be good for me to try. I'm glad the people I was connected to are still here after I've been gone all that time remembered me & excepted me back, if it hadn't been for that I don't think I would have stayed, & Specially glad to be reconnected to you again.

@2ndchances24 I am glad for you that your husband is a big help. I am sure that means everything. It sounds like you are very determined to get better, and I know from experience that determination can take us far. I am not always here every day, but will try to watch for your posts!

Thank you, you could say that, knowing what I know about how bad of shape was in from day 1 to where I am now. 4 mons being home & doing my own therpy it took me a few wks to start trying to get around with a walker at 1st & it was just a few wks I was on the Cain. I've come a long ways, thanks to the dear lord above I can't thank him enough for getting me through it all My husband has really been a big help as well. I enjoyed being here the last time time I was here, I've reconnected with some of them, so 'll be around at some point in my day, thank you for your kind words.

Well being I'm stuck indoors & not in my own place (living with husband) I thought it'd do me good to be here.
