Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 All I can say is WOW. That is such an incredible story. You have been through a heck of a lot. The Lord was watching down on you for sure. You said you had made peace and were not afraid. That is great. You must have more of a purpose in life, and it was not your time. What a miracle. That is so wonderful. I am glad that you are continueing to recover. I look forward to getting to know you better. Quite a few of us here has messenger.

I was 19 when a Rheumy finely tested me,only because I ask for the test. I was sick as an infant and all through my life. You name it, it has gone wrong. I am now 39, I was blessed with a son, he is 16 years old. I have been reading mots of the post, It is hard to sit in this chair and read, for long. I really don't know what to say...So, I will start with...When I was 18 I was in a very bad car accident. I broke 15 major bones, crushed most of the bones in my feet. I have been in 3 other car accidents, the doc's like to call the minor.nothing is minor with Lupus, Is it now... Here comes the really good stuff...On January 7,2000 I found myself fighting for my life, and not because of the Lupus, (because my mothers brother Violated me as a child, then when I was 15 he try-ed to rape me. At 33 years of age I finely stood up to this man who had been a terrorizing me all my life) So on Jan.7,2000 I went to see my Grandmother... BIG MISTAKE...I walk in to her house for the last time that day. my uncle went in to a rage, my friend said RUN CAT HE HAS A GUN, I did not think twice. He had been saying for a year, that he was going to KILL me. I ran out the back door, I stood behind a tall bush looking to see were he was, I could not see or hear him, so I ran toward my truck. I did not make it to the truck, as I looked over my right shoulder, I saw him with a 12 gauge pointed at me, all I could do was to give him a BIG SMILE, he pulled the trigger, I had made my peace with the Crater be for I hit the ground. I new in a matter of seconds that I was done for, I had no fear, All I could think of was my son, he was only 11 years old. I think that he helped me fight for my life. I also think that my Lupus helped save my life. all the Doctors said they had never seen someone come back so fast, I lost the lower right half of my right lung, part of the right lob of my liver, I was on life support for 4 of the 5 days I was in the hospital...Doctors see my X-Rays and still ask me how did you survive that. (All the pellets are still in me). Most in my chest... Well it has has been a very long four year recovery, But I think I have it beat now...I am going to cut this off hear Wishing you all the best day...and lots of love as well Jane "The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store...http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies"The LUPIES Web Page"http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html"The LUPIES online photo albums!"
