Wow. I’m sorry you’ve gone through all of that. Please keep hanging in there for your kids. They need you, and they won’t count your arms.

I am sorry for all you have gone through. Life is full of challenges, and you have been through some of the most difficult challenges imaginable. However, you have the love of two wonderful children. How many people would trade anything, including an arm and a lung, if need be, to have two healthy children? Talk with any mother who has lost a child to illness or an accident and they will confirm that.
You are young, and many advances are being made in the medical world. Organ transplants, miraculous prosthetics, and many other fabulous innovations will undoubtedly be perfected in your lifetime. Be brave, count your blessings and please do come back here to help.com. The helpers here are the kindest people I have ever met. Frankly, others will find your survival and courage inspirational. So, thank you. You have already contributed to the riches here.

Hey, you’re one heck of a fighter. I’m sorry all those things happened to you. But you should feel proud of yourself. You’re alive and a mom! Don’t be ashamed of any thing.

Man oh man,
Im sure you never imagined that coming! Just try and remember how lucky you are to have made it. Most people might of waited for it to go away. You sound like you were literally at deaths door. Im sure it was a shock and you are still getting use to the “new you”. We all can just think our world has crashed, and feel it is so, and sometimes live as if it is, but please try and count your blessings, you are loved by your children for who you are, not what parts you have lost. You are still you, and here still amongst the ones who mean the most to you. Maybe write your experience and gain strength and give strenght to those facing this disease. You could increase the public knowledge of this and help people who are facing this. You still have “all” of you to offer and Im so glad you are here.

Your daughter sounds amazingly mature for 10, and YOU are a huge reason for that, so you should be proud. You have been through so much. Remember we’re here anytime you need to vent . . .

I hope you still get this. You sound as though you have had an amazing life. for the weight.. have you asked the doctor what you can do for exercise that wouldn’t put too much stress on everything. i know that they have those small foot pedals so you can pedal while sitting so you wouldn’t have to risk balance issues with the toe issue. i am a strong believer that if you aren’t happy then change it. i realize that you have obstacles but nothing is impossible. i truelly see you as a very strong individual who has no reason to feel bad for living your life and having a wonderful family. that is something to help you look at everyday with a brighter outlook. oh and sue the livin sh** out that **** hospital for real. good luck and stay strong

wow, yu have an amazing daughter!!!! You are an amazing woman! You know… it may be time to start getting mad… in a healthy way… you can start doing excercises and perhaps just taking a little extra care when you eat to avoid eating the wrong foods that are not beneficial for your lifestyle. NOOOO I’m not saying anything, it’s just hun I weight over 200 pounds before and that not only has physical effects but emotional ones too!

Eating the wrong foods actually effect you emotionally in a negative way… some become iratable, grouch, moody and some become sullen, tired… or can’t sleep or are jittery and can’t seem to shut thier brain off to sleep at night!

That was me!

Do you have hobbies? Perhaps you may enjoy working with clay, moulding something… or painting…are there any programs that you can enlist with? Perhaps talk to your doctor to point you into the right direction of support you need…maybe there is a kyaking club, just because you are in a situation that isn’t ideal doesn’t mean that your world is ended. You just have to make adjustments and it’s time to start showing your daughter that in the face of advercity, one can be stronger… life is hard but through guts and glory you have made it… you can make it!

All my love and admiration to you! Please stay in touch!
We all could use more friends and here’s my email if you ever want to chat.

and never make any appologies for your spelling or how you are! You are a woman who ROCKS GIRL!
