i have health issues and health conditions, but they're not anything life threatening. i'm basically a healthy person. however, i have seasonal allergies, food allergies, medicine allergies, cat allergies, and i have gastroparesis. it's hard describing what gastroparesis is and it's easier to understand what gastroparesis is if you look it up online. gastroparesis isn't deadly, but there's no cure for gastroparesis. i can only eat certain foods in small amounts or i get sick to my stomach and i spit up stomach acid. sounds gross doesn't it? it's not so bad, but the issues with gastroparesis took me awhile to get used to. most people who have gastroparesis lose weight, but i gained weight for some reason.

i'm also disabled due to a terrible car accident several years ago when i was 18 years old and in college. i wasn't the driver of the car that i was in that wrecked and the wreck wasn't the driver's fault either, but the wreck almost killed me. thank god that i don't remember anything about the wreck at all, but i remember my rehabilitation after the wreck once i woke up from my coma. my rehabilitation after the wreck was very hard. i basically had to relearn how to do everything all over again just like a baby learns for the very first time. that's probably hard to believe isn't it. trust me when i tell you that relearning how to do everything was harder to do than it sounds. the doctors and therapists who dealt with me after the wreck were amazed and totally shocked that i came as far as i did in my recovery after the wreck. according to all of the medical books that doctors are taught from with all of the injuries that i had and the severity that i had the injuries according to all of the medical books i shouldn't have ever lived. i'm considered a living miracle. i'm too stubborn to ever give up and i had my mom, whose also my best friend, who also helped me in my recovery. my mom would have never let me give up and when i'd scream and cry in pain mom would hold me tight. it broke my mom's heart seeing me cry and sometimes she'd get tears in her eyes as she held me tightly. if it hadn't have been for my mom i don't think that i would have came as far as i did in my recovery. i'm truly blessed to have a wonderful and amazing mother like i have.
