Crohn’s Warrior

I’ve decided to create this page because I enjoy writing, reading and making new friends. I have a degree in psychology and a passion for helping others. I invite you to browse my posts and leave questions, suggestions or comments. I would be happy to create blogs on any topic you choose as well. I have Crohn’s disease, which caused me to get a colostomy bag in December 2020. I have a long list of other medical issues and symptoms that are being addressed. My medicine drawer could double as a small pharmacy. I have been married to my husband Christopher for a little over a decade now. We raise our two boys, 17 and 7, and use our open door policy to create a safe space for our kids to communicate without judgement.

I live in Lakeland, Florida with my husband and 2 children. My parents and Chris’s parents live nearby, as do both of our siblings and their families. Chris works full time as a master mechanic and hopefully sometime in the near future I will be working again also. I haven’t worked since I gave birth to my 7 year old due to all my severe medical issues.
