About Me

38 

Married for 18 years together 19 my husband is a master photographer(has numerous awards) we own our business where he takes school pics, I do all the intake and outtake work, banking and mailings he does all the photographing, computer work, ordering and traveling.

We have an 11 year old son who is a musical genius he's been playing piano for 6 years, and at school he is in band he plays the clarinet and is in the choir. He is also high functioning autistic has adhd, OCD and anxiety. But he excels at school and everyone loves him. 

We have a 2 year old golden retriever named Rosie who is a big goof but we love her.

Have several chronic issues  some of which cause chronic wide spread daily pain

Migraines 

Neuropathy

Balance issues 

4 herniated discs 

High blood pressure (had it since i was 12 and i was not over weight I will never get rid of it fully

 

 I have CLL or-  Chronic lymphocytic leukemia     stage 1 for 3 years still haven't needed treatment yet I see my oncologist every 4 months it was found due to a car accident they did a cat scan for internal bleeding and found several enlarged lymph nodes it took another 6 months, a biopsy  surgery and a consult to get my DX. The only issues I struggle with are a compromised immune system and fatigue.

I was a type 2 diabetic but since the surgery I have been off my meds I go every 3 months for a check up and blood work per my primary doc so We will find out how I'm doing without my meds my bloods at home have been fine. 

And on 9/1 I slipped and fell.. well kinda slid lol down the stairs and x-rays taken on 9/8 show a fracture so I have to a MRI since they can't tell if the fracture is on my coccyx or my sacrum. I also have to have a bone density scan to rule out bone loss because this is my 3rd injury to that area in the last 25 years. I also have to have PT.
