I was diagnosed on Jan. 28 2008, and it is the 28 of 2009. It has been the longest year, but I have grown up so much. I am glad that I have been diagnosed because I look at life a different way that I never have before, but it really has made me a better, healthier person. I enjoyed the hospital stay a lot, probably because it was like my life was saved, as you know, the symptoms feel like you are dying. I still like to replay it in my head, because that was a life changing moment...
