I am three...

Good Afternoon PA!!

Today is my third surgiversary!! Cannot believe it!!!

I am not going to go into a long speech, just that I am so glad that I had this life saving surgery!

It has been a WILD ride, some really high times and really low times, but such is life.

I have met some amazing people and made some GREAT friends!

I do, however have a CRAZY story for the way my surgiversary started. Last night we went out to Lancaster with another couple to celebrate a friends birthday. We had a FABULOUS time and didn't want the night to end, but at midnight it did. So we got in the car and started on our way home. We needed to stop at the rest stop and both our guys went to use the bathroom. Well, my hubby didn't lock the doors. The next thing we know this man that neither of us knew opened my door. I was like, "HELLO? Can I help you??. He apologized and thought he was going to his car. Scared the living daylights out of me and my friend! The guys come back and we tell them what happened. So we continue on our ride home. All of a sudden three deer run out into the road, Steven swerved and missed two out of the three. He did hit one and yes there is damage to my car, but we are alive! That is all that matters. So it was an interesting start to my surgiversary. I hope the rest of the day is UNEVENTFUL!

I want to thank all the people who give of themselves so freely on this board and have supported me no matter what! You are so appreciated and loved!!

Love, Beth

Congratulations on your surgiversary. I always tell my clients that I truly believe that we start over when we have our surgery and that we are having to re-learn life. So when we make mistakes, or don't know what to do or have the answers, I always say to them ( and myself ) what do you expect you are three years old? LOL 

You are doing well, and you are right it has been quite a ride, I look forward to seeing where you are and how far you have come when you can say I am four years old :)

 Nicole,

You are so right! I was reborn the day I had my surgery!!!

I am still learning and growing in this journey and I am so glad to have met and become friends with you and Jason!

Love you, Beth

 Happy Surgiversary Beth!! You have done so well through all the ups and downs.  I'm glad that I can share this journey with you!!   And as I said on FB.. glad you are all ok.  

 I feel the same way! 

wow - what an adventure.  Glad that you are all ok

Congratulations on three years.  Time flies.  As most of us along this journey, you have had many ups and downs.   You have been a welcome face at just about every meeting and I admire you for sticking to this despite some of the negative things you have endured.  You are a strong, determined woman and I know you will continue along this road and be an inspiration to others.

Love,  Arlene 

 Yes time has really flown by.... In some ways it feels like just yesterday that I was newly post op and saying to myself, "What in the hell have I done???" I know now this was the best decision I have made for me.

Support group for me is one of the main reasons I have succeeded as well as I have!

Thanks for your support and love!

Beth
