Today is my one year anniversary from this ordeal. So many times I thought I wasnt going to make it thru this. While my surgery didnt go as planned and I am now disfigured, I am still here. I hate looking like this but at the same time I am grateful for every single day. This post is an example of the kindness and caring within every OCF member. Thanks guys for helping me thru the worst time of my life!!!
