Welcome & Thank You!

Hello all!!!!!

Welcome to my blog and thank you for reading! I set this blog up for my family, friends, and anyone else who is curious about my upcoming J-Pouch Surgery. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in 2006 and will be receiving J-Pouch Surgery to cure my illness in November of this year. I am very excited to start this new chapter of my life and want to share it with everyone possible! I also hope that I can inspire other young people who are newly diagnosed or those just having a hard time with their illness in general. I will post leading up to my surgery and in the months following. I will include pictures with my story and a first person account of what I am dealing with. I hope to shead light on Crohns and Ulcerative Colitis and get people to understand these illness more and what they truly entail! If you have questions, please ask! I love to spread the word and answer any question you have. Nothing is off limits! Thank you for your time and please share my blog.....I want to spread awarness.....anyway possible.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' -------Eleanor Roosevelt
