All About Me!

I am a 28 year old who loves life! I love being around my family & friends, making new relationships with people, connections with people of all ages, hearing their stories of life, anything like that interests me! 

I currently am battling a horrific chronic illness of Chronic Pancreatitis (CP), as well as Chronic Anemia, Sphincter of Oddi dysfuntion & the (in this case more minor) chronic migraines.  I am in the process of getting ready to undergo a Total Pancreatectomy with Auto Islet Cell Transplantation (can you say mouthful).  I want to blog my entire journey from beginning to end(which I'm a little late in the game since I've been battling this disease for a good 4+years now but now is better than never)
I'm a compassionate, caring, sensitive, hard working, determined, very knowledgeable young woman & look forward to going through this new journey & expressing it all with you. :)

I also hope that my experiences & journey will help anyone else who is battling any of the illnesses I am going through as well.  If it helps anyone at all, just a little bit, I will have a smile on my face.
When I'm not stuck in the hospital or sick at home hooked to an IV pump, I love sweating & the way exercise makes me feel.  I'm a big home workout girl, & love anything that has to do with fitness.  The smell of new shoes always brings a smile to my face (it must be in my blood!) & going through racks of clothes is always good therapy to me..although my purse strings don't like it too me.  The medical field is my passion as well as my career, although spending so much time around it health wise I'm experiencing it from the other side a bit more than my taste of liking... STAY TUNED for my epic returned!!!  :)
