I nearly died in 2012 after my femoral artery was nicked during a “routine” hysterectomy. They told my husband as I was being rushed back in for emergency surgery to “call your Pastor, she most likely will not make it.” I can’t imagine how he must have felt. Nearly losing his wife and 4 young children without their mom. When you experience something like that it changes your entire outlook on life. Every single thing I count as a blessing and absolute treasure. I had always been very active up until having children. They took up every single waking hour of my day. Exercising was the last thing on my list. If I could squeeze a walk in it was a great day! I wanted to do something for myself again. I slowly began running and swimming.
