My name is Malaika and I am 39 yrs old. I am having surgery in Tijuana by Dr. Lopez. I am getting married March 15 2014 to a wonderful man. I am the mother of 3 children that see me as perfect. Of course I see all the flaws. I was hit by a drunk driver August 2010 and left paralysed for 2 years. I just started walking last year. My spine was turned upside down so I gained a lot of weight while I was stuck in that chair. Now that God have given me another chance, I want to regain Me. I want as much of my life back as possible. I am on day 2 of the preop and the headache is horrible but worth it. I live in Birmingham so help me through this please
