Gasteroparesis

I can't wait to blog about how my Gasteroparesis is doing. (or GP for short) It's probably the diagnosis that impacts my life the most, or maybe second only to Bipolar Type II. But after seeing a specialist at Northwestern last January, I'm EATING AGAIN! I was inches away from getting a feeding tube for a whole year. My GI docs would ask at every appointment if I was wanting a tube or ready for one. I feel so incredibly lucky and I'd love to share all this with you because even if one GP-er has their life saved like mine was it will all be worth it.

My first piece of advice to anyone with GP or chronic medical conditions in general-save as much $ as you can. As much as I love you for coming here, please don't reach into your own pocket for me and think very carefully about donating to a fellow ill person. You *will* be sick enough (if you live in the US especially) to need medical bill help. It's guaranteed until we have a different President. In fact, a book I'd like to write if I had the time is called "How to Bust Trump". But instead all I had time for today was having Chris take me to my favorite park (where I saw these somehow adorable beer bottle tops) and a couple hours of Zelda. 😊
