Joseph Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I was born 3 and a half months early. The doctors told my mom I had 0% chance, and even if I did I would have severe brain damage. 22 years later so far so good. But today I had a WTF moment. I realised I am so unbelievably lucky to be alive, especially with not a mental or physical problem. My ass needs to get to work and kick life's ass.

oystergirl Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Big hugs. I am lucky to be alive too and my oldest daughter. Without C-sections she and I would both be dead. She had the chord around her neck 3 times! I thank the universe every day for life! Keep it up! The real world is bizarre enough for me....Blue Oyster Cult!

Wicked Pixie Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 This made me cry & hit home! My baby bro was 3 months early, learned to kick life's ass at a young age. Learned to read at 3, with eyesight so bad they thought he could have been blind. Enlisted in the army & nearly lost his life in Iraq. Luckily, he only lost one leg and the burns heal. We are all so incredibly blessed- we need to make every day count! Thank you for getting my ass off the couch today!!!! Link to comment
Karma Stu Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I know exactly how you feel! I very nearly didn't make it. Had the chord wrapped around my neck during birth and every time my Mum had a contraction I stopped breathing. Emergency C Section it was. And then as a proper small baby the doctors told Mum and Dad I had Cancer. So a little while ago I told myself its time to stop coasting through life and actually make something I want out of it. So setting about getting the job I really want and getting my butt into shape along with some decent healthy eating / living drills! I'm looking forward to kicking life's ass with you and everyone else on here Karma StuLevel 1 Human RangerSTR: 2 I DEX: 3 I STA: 3 I CON: 2 I WIS: 3 I CHA: 2Karma restored "You have to want it more than you want to continue feeling comfortable, and until you do, you're not going to change a damn thing - no matter how much you lament not being or doing what you 'want'." - Evicious Link to comment
