who are you
Hmm..great topic.
I am Jenn, 35 years old
Dx'd at 33 ish because of a multitude of problems, suspected earlier by my PCP
Live in NY...Hey David, did you say you lived in Millbrook NY? I live near there!!!
I am 5'7" and 148 lbs (yep, a chubbie one, but hey, used to weigh 277 lbs until my pancreas bit the big one LOL- glad I had pounds to spare!!)
Have DM
Was a nurse until about 4 yrs ago, okay still a nurse cosidering I use my skills daily- worked in alot of different fields, favorite was. Prior to nursing studies, I was in the chem engineer field...Ha, who would've thought I would have turned to nursing????
My PFT's are currently unknown- live on a vent, were about 16% prior to the vent (have myopathy issues that affect my diaphragm)
Favorite foods: A good cheesy pizza with mushrooms, Ben and Jerry's just about any flavor, eclairs, home made chinese food
Food I hate: canned peas!!! Also, some of those canned supplements they give you in the hospital...Yuk!!!!
I love to read, enjoy my kids (they are teens, someday I think they turn back into humans LOL), love the internet, watching 80's movies (just love it when a person uses a car phone the size of a cement block, makes me think how much technology has changed), love to research anything that makes me curious, I enjoy tormenting new interns while in the hosptial (heeheehee payback!)
I am as easy going as they come, but god have mercy on the person who pushes too many of my buttons!!
I try to live life as much as possible...we are here for a finite period of time, might as well make the best of it regardless of what people say (some of my relatives treat me like I am dead already...really really angers me!!)
I find that attitude makes a difference...a good temper tantrum certainly is cleansing at times too!
I love humor, laughter makes my soul lighter, makes my problems seem less severe than they are at the time. Love to laugh too.
Okay, that's me in a nutshell....Hugs to all
