Terri B. checking in!
I just thought I would check in and let you guys know that I'm doing great! I've been lurking here for a few days trying to get caught up on everything.
I have made it to the 2 year-NED milestone. I'm pretty excited about that. I'm having another tweak surgery next week to fix a flap of skin, and have my port removed while he's in there. I'm pretty excited about that too. I feel great, about 50 lbs lighter, working out every day, I'm pretty excited about that!
Here is what i'm MOST excited about: Their names are Damon and Brendan. I love them to PIECES!!
You guys take good care.

Re: Terri B. checking in!
Terri, the boys are so sweet and I can see why you list them high as priority!
Congrats on two years out which is wonderful and good luck with the getting the port out. I only felt the shot beforehand for a moment and was fine after it and really felt like "This" was over
