Wow, How time flies! Its hard to believe that 2 years ago to the day I had an Islet-Auto transplant. Its a day for celebrating my new life. 2 years ago I was so ill and looking for a miracle. A miracle that would make me better and give me chance at life again. God answered my prayers with this surgery.
Although recovery was long and hard, it was worth it. 2 years ago I had extreme pain, could barely get off the couch, and wasn’t able to eat. I also was having surgery every 4 to 6 weeks and taking a ton of pain medication. Today is completely different! I am able to eat anything which is amazing. I have no pain and I am off the couch. I am nearly off all medications. I continue to gain strength and my outlook on life is incredible.
I am completely diabetes free. What a miracle! My islets (Insulin cells) are doing exactly what they should. I still check my blood sugar daily. The reason for this is to make sure my blood sugar doesn’t get too high. If my blood sugar did get to high it would mean my liver is no longer producing islets. But my blood sugar is absolutely normal!
Today my journey is to live life.
Thanks to prayers being answered and the wonderful skills and gifts that the Lord gave my surgeons, doctors, and nurses who cared for me and believed in me.
