Getting them on my own two "feet": priceless...
It's been a year since I got my leg and I have to tell you I was worried about the outcome.
A year later my "disability" has brought me more opportunities than I would have ever gotten as an "normal" person...
Surfing, movies, TV shows, the awesome people I have met, the person that I am today...
All of this and more would have never been brought to me without all the crap that had to happen to me before...
5 years of hell to have a more fulfilling life. Who would have guessed? Definitely not me...
If I could have shown my life to the younger, balder, skinnier, very unhappy, cancer ridden version of myself, I think I would have had a lot less hard, dark days...
I know it's strange to everyone that I say I wouldn't change anything that happened to me in those 5 years. But I feel like my life is better for it. My appreciation of life (or lack of it) will never be like it was before.
I feel that I am much more happy than the people who give me the "oh poor you" look (which I hate by the way).
The more I live the more it proves to me that everything happens for a reason...
