It's been a long ride so far. I remember thinking every thought that could possibly run thru ones head as I was getting ready to go to the hospital for a 10-12 1/2 hr surgery. I had to be there at 4 am. What a rough and emotional day. I watched SAGE video of similar surgery beforehand as I am not one that likes surprises.
5 years later still battling the beast even though I am medically declared NED at this time. I am not one who takes that lightly because I know some can be NED forever and some are blindsided months to years down the road with recurrences. I stay pro-active and will until I feel I am truly out of the woods.
Long Ride!!!
PS thinking I need a Harley or Indian of my own as a 5 yr anniversary
