What defines me?
Wow I never expected this experience with a feeding tube to escalate to where it is today. In a few short days I will be meeting with a surgeon to schedule either a gj or j tube placement surgery. Again... wow. The doctors originally told me that I would be rid of this tube before school started. That didn't happen. Then I was told to give it a month. Nope. The dates kept extending until here we are four months later looking at permanent placements. The thing is I wouldn't change it for anything. Through every trial that my life has brought me I have learned something. I have to believe that God will use my experiences one day to help someone else in the same situation as me. Life with a medical problem can feel very lonely sometimes. You don't always have people readily available to talk to who know exactly what you are going through and you tend to get left behind when it comes to having a normal life. I want to help show people that I do have a life. &
