I found it ! Mood
Saturday, May 9, 2009 | A General Update story

     I went through heaps of stuff from the rehab this morning and I found the note that I wrote as a journal entry.  I apologize if I repeat my self from the previous journal entry but this is what I wanted to write right after the second surg and found out that i was paralyzed.

 

    My life has completely changed over the past week.  It took a tragedy for my life to start anew.  After the second surg I woke up with no function in my legs. Once an active mother who never sat made to face the possibility of life in a wheel chair.

    

     As odd as it may seem I am glad it all happened. I was forced to come clean about all of the stuff that I hid from myself and others. My husband now knows everything of my panic and anxiety problems and he still loves me.  I sit here and cry tears of joy and relief.  I have suffered in silence for way to long and tried to spare my family any pain.  When I should have let them know from the start that all was not well with me.

 

     I yelled at God so often and was so angry with him.  I had no idea why this happened to me.  I think I am finally understanding the whys.  I have a long way to go yet , but as long as I have my family and friends I think that there is nothing I can not over come.

 

     Thank you for reading this any and all comments are welcome.

     Wishing all who read this a day full of sunshine and laughter

    Hey Girl,

    This was awesome! I am so glad God used this difficult, uncertain period of your life to help you to open up to your family. God is so all about relationships; ours to Him and ours to each other. I can tell that this has strengthened both for you.
    We learn so much more during the dark times if we are open to it. I am proud of you as it took courage on your part to decide to do this. I am happy God has blessed you with a joyful outcome.
    I hope and pray for your continued recovery.

    Many hugs my friend,

    Darlene
