One thing I'll often say to folks about this whole ordeal is: "It's a limb, not a life." I am always thinking about how much worse it could be, and that gives me a lot of strength. So people like you, sharing what they've been through....is so important! <br /><br />Prayers for your continued healing! I always wonder all of the "why's" too....but eventually gave up seeking answers to that question. (Too much thinking for my brain to handle. :) ) It is always good to look back later....if that happens, and kind of see the connections. <br /><br />Hugs to you! Hope to meet your kids someday when I'm up in Shevegas!

I didn't know. Your husband, kids, and faith will help you get through this and be a stronger person that you ever thought you could. I am a two time cancer survivor over the past 10 years and decided that I am still here for some reason yet (not sure exactly why yet-probably for my kids)! I am confident that you will do great through it all, and I will pray for you. Take care, and despite what has happened, remember how life could be so much worse. I know that's hard some days, but it helps us remember how lucky we are to have all of the blessings we do have. Take care, Chris. :) Julie (Kautzer) WalkerJulie (Kautzer) Walkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580861204056759106.post-38354687612306782032014-01-04T16:26:32.743-08:002014-01-04T16:26:32.743-08:00Eddie! Happy 50th! I remember your dad well.......Eddie! Happy 50th! I remember your dad well....and I'm sorry that he passed so young. :( ((hugs)). I hope your health continues to improve, because you're absolutely right....attitude and determination is huge! (Although I remember that your mom is a great cook, as are a lot of folks in your community.) My dad is diabetic too, with heart issues, and we know how tough it can be when the good vittles come around. This getting older thing makes it a lot harder, doesn't it? <br /><br />Hugs to you, Chris and your beautiful daughters! You sure seem like a proud pop. At least three women in your life will keep you on your toes.

You will not let life give you a challenge that you can't overcome. As a diabetic who had a father who lost his legs when he was about my age I often worry and wonder if I will fall into his fate. In fact I have tried to take better care of myself as I reach the young age of 50 this year. My challenge is to live longer then my father who died when he was just 60 years old. This comment is not about me but to tell you that you have challenge me to be more active in my life because of your faith in beating the odds. You will not let this became the instrument that take you down you will show us all life can be hard, but we can stop living because of those hardships. Good luck and prayers for a speedy recovery and keep posting those lovely pictures of your family because your family is a model of keep faith and cherish the gifts and abilities we do have. Nothing is going to let down except ourselves. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
