Ah shucks :thanks:. You all are going to make me blush. Seriously. :)
I've always been told I have a nice smile...it is just the rest of me was...is...well..you saw it :lol:
But thank you, so VERY much. It had started off as such a HARD journey, I thought I wouldn't be able to do it...but now that I am 1/3 of the way there...it suddenly seems possible. I thank everyone here at 3FC. It has been the support I have needed longer than I realized. My loved ones can support me...but until you are actually going through it, you just don't get it. That was the support I needed and still need the most. And I thank every last one of you from the bottom of my heart for giving it.
I know a lot of you don't know my story. My three year old daughter found me in a brief coma back in August last year. I came very close to losing my life. I spent second half of 2012 on an oxygen tank at the ripe old age of 29. I was diagnosed with ARDS on top of severe asthma, was told I would have permanent lung damage, and doctors more or less told me to get used to the O2 tank and never being mobile again. I couldn't even walk up my stairs. Now, less than a year later, I run. Not far, roughly a mile or less, but I run. I don't have an O2 tank attached to my hip. My O2 saturation hovers around 99% now, instead of the 42% it used to be in. I have my life back. I have to complete this journey because I will NOT let my daughter find me like that again. And in my moments of weakness, in my moments of depression, in my moments of giving up, it is everyone here that brings me back on track. I literally owe you all my life.
Thank you
