What tremendous hope and encouragement you have given on this forum.  It really helps me to think about a
5 yr anniversary as I approach surgery this Friday. 

Thanks so much and congrats!

Jan,

I agree life is good! When I look back on the experience I am simply amazed at how far and how fast we have arrived at this point my congratulations to you as you pass another of the signifigant mile posts in your life may we all be where you are today with your winning attitude! You encourage us all that the glass is not half empty but instead half full. It is people like you who encourage us to refill our glasses!!!!

Thanks!

Life is Good

I am fast approaching my July 2nd anniversary and can't believe it has been yearsrs since we evicted Bennie

the first couple months I thought maybe should have just left him in and let nature take it's course ... I was in that much pain and that much distress... but it passed and things got better and life goes on
 
let me tell you all ... things do get better and I would do it all over again



Hope you 5 year ANniversary was grand

My 5th ANniversary was grand.

Hope your ANniversary is just as wonderful.

Some things need to be celebrated

Hurray!!   It is wonderful to know you celebrated your milestone and life is good for you.  I'm sure we are all looking forward to that ANniversary.

I want to share that I just had my 4th on June 16. I FEEL GREAT. Actually I've felt pretty good since my 3rd. But this last year has made a huge difference with my two biggest issues--the dizziness & the chronic headaches. Over the last year my head has been clear most of the time & the headaches have subsided a great deal. I am looking forward to my 5th in the hopes that I feel even better then.

It's encouraging to hear symptoms can continue to improve!!!!!!

Congratulations from me too!  I was feeling headachey and full headed and your five year milestone and everyone's stories here give all us newbies  hope as we watch and wait and learn.  Thank you!  Millie

I can't believe I missed this on your anniversary! You are an inspiration and help to so many on the forum.

I think life after AN is tough, especially at first, but it can and will make you stronger. I have much more courage now, and faith in the Lord, and fantastic AN friends that I'm so glad I met.

I've done more physically (distance running etc) that I had prior to my AN. It's not that I felt better, but I just have more nerve to try some things.

Some things are still a drag... part of my face always feeling numb, the SSD, but  - you are right - life is good!

Jan, I missed this too. 5 years is great, congrats. I'm just a little bit over a year behind you. You've been a great help to many newbies and oldies (like me) on the forum. You are also the very first forum AN'er that I got to meet in person. I agree with your title....life is good. Congrats again.
