well it is that time of year again. where i get most fearful. june is not a
happy month for me most know why to you new ppl this is why i live in fear on my
own birth month. 7 years ago i was married to a very non surportive person.
coming home from our honeymoon on the 24th an tractor trailor hit us and ran
off. I suffered a severe tramtic brain injury. Now you think my story ends
there well there is a upturn to goodness in it. My ex- wife left believeing in
the doctors that i would never walk or have the mind of a 4 year old. now you
must be thinking what has this got to do with TTP. Well i was out of remission
at the time and going through TPE. the doctors had to find me since i was taken
to holston valley medical center. I fear the 24th of june for a repeat of
history. but i was born in june. I still have my brain and i am more
functional then the doctors could believe. never forget the human spirit and
determanation to go on and to survive. I have lived with TTP since august of
1999. I have had 7 relapses that i know of and i continue to be here. I did
have my spleen out on july 12th of 2004. and have been in remission since.
life outside of this diease is possible. but remember to do things with as
little stress as you deem possible ok. do not try to do to much to fast and
take a break if you need to. oh My birthday is Jne the 13th. I will be 35 years
old this year yeah that is young but to have had my body go through what it has
then you will feel older too.

God bless you all and always remember to never give up. you can not stop the
spirit of human kind.
