A little about me:

I am in my mid 40's, currently coping with Crohn's disease, CHF, several congenital heart defects, chronic debilitating pain including sciatica & arthritis, asthma, depression and anxiety. But the biggie to cope with is Social Security Disability - been wrestling with them for 3.5 years (first alone, and now with a lawyer)!

My Awareness Ribbons

"I can survive Crohn's Disease, Chronic Pain, & Emotional Abuse thru my faith in God, and with the love and support of my family and friends."	"In memory of my Granny Smith - the apple of my family's eye."	"I survived a childhood heart defect through my mother's fierce determination to fight for my life."	"I wear a lavender ribbon in honor of my childhood friend Joy who never gave up while coping with epilepsy."	"Blue ribbons for family who lost their battle with colon cancer, but fought bravely until the end."
"I proudly wear a white ribbon for my mom - she fights diabetes everyday and still takes care of me."	"My 4 babies are perfect angels."
