Level 21: completed!

Today I had a routine oncologist appointment and other than waiting on a blood test that pretty much covers it all and not knowing  those results yet I'm healthy!

After all that I have been through over these past 21-now 22 years I think that today is cause for some major celebration, a birthday, a clean bill of health, a new laptop later on this week and a bright future in store. To say that my life has been crazy (for lack of a better word) is an understatement.

  • born with a heart defect, that I almost didn't survive after birth.
  • 5 open heart surgeries up until the age of 14.
  • a stroke
  • and about a year ago, cancer which I beat!

I know that there are other people in this world that have stories much worse than mine and that have their lives a lot worse than mine. I keep them in my prayers always I also realize how narcissitic this post may sound, but I'm really trying to not make it be. But a year ago I wasn't sure if I would even make it to 21 let alone 22 so this is a celebatory post of sorts. So this post was necessary and so was this. I don't think that this post went as I had planned in my head last night but that's what I get for not having my laptop yet and not having any wifi.

Hope everyone is having a great day! Those promised posts will be up soon.

xoxo

  1. Hey lady, that is REALLY exciting. Being alive is certainly something to celebrate. And 22 was a good year for me. I hope it's great for you, too. From one walking medical malady (and cancer survivor) to another, I wish you good health! And happy birthday! Make someone build you a cake.

  3. Wow, I had no idea. Being alive everyday must seem like a miracle to you. Really makes me feel like I take my life for granted.
    Happy birthday girly! And many more =)
