I'm such an open book that I never even considered keeping it to myself. But what was weird is that my parents and husband automatically expected me to keep it a secret. I told one of my friends and she said that I was taking the easy way out but that didn't bother me enough to keep it to myself. If my story can inspire someone else then I would rather take the chance of helping one person rather than keeping it to myself to protect myself from a negative comment or reaction. I've always marched to the beat of my own drum and never really cared what people thought about me. I can't wait until I have my surgery! I've over the moon with excitement!!!!!!!!!!!
