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. After a conversation with an able-bodied friend who didn’t quite understand why I would tell people that I thought I’d elaborate. I know this may be an unpopular opinion but when you’reContinue reading “Be Selfish”

I’ve been reminded lately how I don’t typically use the word survivor when I speak about my illness and all I’ve been through. And they’re right I don’t but with good reason.

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”

A week ago today I had a seizure. The first seizure I’ve had in 9 months and it scared the hell out of me. I guess those of you who know me are wondering why it scared me so much it. I mean we all know it definetly wasn’t the first time. Well, I thinkContinue reading “Yet another seizure”

Right now I am in this weird place. This place where everything is going well, I’m feeling a bit better but I cant fully enjoy it. I cant enjoy it because I see the cloud hoovering up above.
