This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Georgia and attend a Georgia football game with my husband. Georgia is his favorite team and I wanted this trip to be so special for him.  And it was very special and so much fun but as I get the looks from people wondering howContinue reading “What you don’t see”

I’ve been sick for awhile now, with that I went through the acceptance and grieving process a long time ago. No one ever told me that I may have to continually go through that process. So if you follow me, you know that I had a baby. Since that time I’ve found myself having toContinue reading “Acceptance isn’t linear”

It’s been awhile since I’ve wrote something and I must say I missed you guys. And the release writing gives me. Anyway I’ve been away because I was growing a baby!! Becoming a mother has been a dream since I was little girl playing with my baby doll I named Elizabet. With all my healthContinue reading “Do it anyway”

If you’ve spoken to me intimately or follow my story and you’re chronically ill, you’ve probably heard me tell you to be selfish.

I just had my 13th surgery and 5th brain surgery. Every time my pseudotumor cerebri is out of remission and I have to have a surgery, it brings up so many feelings. I try and stay calm and collected until they roll me into the operating room but I go through being nervous, scared, anxiousContinue reading “Feelings”

Throughout this health journey of mine I’ve dealt with it in ways that probably only make sense to me. For example, when I was first diagnosed with Epilepsy and then shortly after with Pseudotumor cerebri, I had what I called sad realization moments. My first sad realization was during a 72 hour extended eeg withContinue reading “Sad Realizations”

Hey Guys, I missed writing my blog but I stopped for awhile to focus on writing my book and getting Enduring Minds The Foundation all set up. Don’t think that since I’ve been gone a lot hasn’t happened because I’ve been busy! In the time that I’ve been away I bought and moved into myContinue reading “Symptoms”
