My mind goes back to that first question. Why am I here and why now? I try to pinpoint when it all started. I remember August 2, 2017 because that was the day my youngest child was born. I remember getting to the hospital at 5AM and getting prepped for the C-Section. I had one with my first so there was no question; for the safety of everyone, a C-Section would have to be done. I laid in the hospital bed for just over an hour while they pumped some fluids in me. I have never been good at staying hydrated so it was a good thing this was a standard procedure when it came to C-Section patients. I played my favorite radio station to keep me calm while the surgery was happening. Just the thought of someone cutting me open freaked me out.
