Hello my AN family,
Can't believe it's been two years ago today that my AN was removed. As some of you know...it's been a bit of a rough ride since. Don't think it's ever a smooth ride for anyone. Though I'm struggling with chronic pain and chronic fatigue among other things from the surgery...I try to have a positive attitude. Other things may not have improved much but I know my attitude has changed for the better. Yes I still have my "down days" but I don't cry my eyes out as often. And over the last few months I've come to realize that my AN has been a blessing in disguise. Great things are actually happening because of it. Because of my AN I have made and met some wonderful friends, found my Church family, have become a stronger person, am so much more thankful for all that I have and the list goes on. Having a great support system is the key ingredient of being able to get through each day. I have my children, boyfriend, church family, AN family and most importantly the Lord that saved me. So for all you "Newbies"...yes having an AN can be scarey but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I would like to thank my AN family for all of your thoughts, prayers, advice and for always being there. I would be so lost without my AN famiy. It's so comforting knowing that I can come here at any time and reach out for help or offer help.
I have to remind myself of my motto..."Make something positive out of the negative that comes your way." So for this AN, as much as it wants to haunt me for the rest of my life...I've got different plans!
God Bless,
Laura Lynn
