blaze100 Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Seven years ago this week I got up 4:30am Monday morning, took my shower with the special soap and walked through pitch black parking lot and into the hospital for the surgery. I remember thinking this would be the last time I would see the stars. I took one last look at those stars, and then said good bye to this world and walked through those hospital doors. Never in a million years did I ever think I'd get lc.... and equally, never ever did I think I'd be here 7 years later. Barb Quote

chloesmom Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Barb, Congratulations! I wanna be like you! I also remember only too well walking that long walk to the hospital early in the morning (only for me it was light already because it was summertime) and the feelings I had were the same as you. Reading that this morning brought it all back, and made me all the more grateful for our survivorship! Here's to 7 more, and 7 more, and so on and so on! Cindy Quote

blaze100 Posted October 2, 2007 Author Posted October 2, 2007 After a long hard day at work, I finally found a few seconds to tune-in to our site at 9pm. You guys made me smile big time. Thank you for the cheer leading. I really needed it today....maybe I kept myself busy so I wouldn't have time to remember the details of that day. Randy, I wish I could see you do your happy dance. I think I'd kick off my shoes and join in. Barb Quote
