The person who can tell you all about the joys of surviving - and attempting to thrive - while balancing a cocktail of chronic illnesses (twenty-four and counting).  I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing both spinal and brain neurosurgery, which sounds more dramatic than it is - okay, maybe it's just as dramatic as it sounds!

​

Walking is a bit of an adventure for me, as I always need an aid, but hey, it adds a touch of flair to my daily strolls down the hall. My day is carefully orchestrated around medication schedules and nebulizer sessions every six hours to keep my lungs in tip-top shape due to the ever-present possibility of an anaphylactic asthma attack. If you’re looking for someone who knows how to keep life dolefully exciting, I’m your person!

​

I’m also hosting the remains of a life-threatening brain infection (yes, I have a flair for the dramatic), so some days, my bed and I spend a lot of quality time together. My bones are also doing their own thing – like dying on me. Weakness is my constant companion, but I think it’s just my Lord's way of reminding me I’m not in control. 

​

Despite it all, I’m here, and I’m smiling (or crying!). Life might be throwing everything it can at me, but I’m still finding reasons to laugh, love, and live within the tension of grief, sorrow, and suffering.  Thanks for stopping by, and I pray my dolightful story brings a little hope and laughter to your day!

​​

So, welcome ... enjoy your stay!
