6 years Today!!
Sep 22nd, 2010 at 7:57am
 
At this time 6 years ago, I am in the preparing at the hospital for my surgeries. I will be undergoing the STA-MCA and the EMS on my left side. My husband and my mother are with me.

Today my husband and I are going to have a celebration with friends like a birthday party.

DJ,
If this site was not here.... I don't know if I would be here. THANK YOU!!
Becky

Becky, CONGRATULATIONS!!! 6 years is certainly a reason to celebrate. This site was not here when Kathleen was diagnosed so I know all too well how different it is for those who can come here as soon as they're diagnosed. We felt soooo alone in thie and had such a hard time finding updated information, We had no one to talk with who had been through this. So let me second that "thanks DJ you;ve made such a difference in so many lives.

Congratulations Becky!  Milestones are wonderful things to celebrate, and I hope you're having a great time reminiscing about where you were then and looking at where you are now.  Wishing you much joy as you celebrate!

Well done, what a milestone.

While I'm reading this post the song that's playing on the radio is 'Tonights gonna be a good night' by the Black Eyed Peas, so have a blast.

Congrats on 6yrs!!!!!

My 4yr milestone just passed and this site was there for me, from diagnosis through surgery! It was such a calming force, knowing so many people had great "post-surgical" results.

May you have many, many more anniversaries to celebrate!
