I am still so incredibly thankful for second chances and while life is very normal, I try not to take that for granted from where I've been. This man is my best friend and soul mate and I could not imagine life without him.

You look great!! Very healthy

Lewis Garlisi Big congratulations on your progression! You've had a lot of obstacles to overcome. I must admit that following your story just before my surgery a couple of months ago was difficult. You are tough. Best wishes for your continued success.

Rhonda Rawles Thanks everyone! Lewis - I was afraid of scaring others as I know going through this journey is scary enough without reading bad outcomes. Although my road was rocky and it took me longer to get here, I am doing great now. The best part of it is I don't remember anything that happened. Literally I remember going to the hospital and checking in and then nothing for about 3 weeks. It was really much worse for my family who obviously was very aware of what was going on.
