"They say we're all put on this earth for a reason and that we leave when our time is up. I'm so glad my time wasn't up......and it could've been." I can finally post this blog entry up here.
It was a week ago, from this past friday, that I decided to go and visit a friend of mine. It was about 10pm or so and I didn't want to stay at home and I hadn't seen him in quite awhile. While I was there, I thought I was having an asthma attack and two days later I was being awaken by a loved one in ICU. Later that evening I had been moved into my own hospital room and was given the whole story for probably the hundreth time, but it was the first time I heard it fully concious.
I have chronic bronchial asthma. I didn't know how bad it was until that weekend. I've never been prescribed the proper medication only a mere inhaler all of my adult life. Well that friday night I had an attack and had I'd of stayed at home I probably wouldn't be typing this email right now. Still the attack had hit me so swiftly and so hard that I guess my body went into immediate shock and I ended up in a coma for about 24hrs with a machine breathing for me and not a lot of hope for recovery. My body is still very sore and swollen from my neck to my feet due to all of the needles and bloodwork and everything else that could stick in and on me. My equillibrium is still off and my reaction time is still very slow so I guess I went through a great deal of trauma if I am healing this slowly.
Nevertheless, I am writing this last blog for the year of 2006 to say THANK YOU to my incredible circle of family and friends and to the heavens above. I cannot explain the love that I have in my life and though we may not always see all the blessings we have in our lives everyday, I did when I came "back into the world of the living". Friends and family that I truly don't know how they found out my little ordeal nor did I expect to see, showed up in droves. And I thank you all. I love you soooooooo much and I appreciate you all.
I wish everyone a wonderful, blessed and successful new year. I wanna thank everyone that has been a part of my 2006 adventures. It truly has been a "challenging" year. One like I haven't had and i'm praying the 2007 is much more fulfilling and fruitful.
I had no idea!! Thanks for letting us in. Glad you are still with us, I can't imagine a planet without you, Tori.
