A new journey...

Hey everyone, I know it has been a while (Hey, I'm in school!), but I thought that I would give you an update concerning me. I don't know if I have ever mentioned this before, but for the last five or so years I have had trouble with swallowing food, and also drinks, I have not been able to swallow pills for years (can you imagine how embarrassing it is when you have to ask your doctor for liquid medication, because you can't swallow pills? Never mind, don't answer that). For years I have struggled with choking on and throwing up food because of this issue, please note though, that I am NOT anorexic or bulimic, I wanted to eat, I just could not swallow. After a little research, and a trip to the doctor, I found out almost a year ago that my esophagus is narrowed at some places, thus inhibiting me from eating like a "normal" person. That said, I actually experienced something that I hoped that I would never have to deal with: Food impaction. Food impaction is scary, it is when food gets immovably stuck in your throat, and it is a medical emergency, especially if you cannot breath. I will share more as time allows, please stay tuned!

Just a Little More Time...

Hello Everyone! I know that it has been a loooong time since I have posted to the blog, but hang in there! I am still alive, just getting the seat of my pants wore out with classes. I will be graduating next month, and will hopefully get back to posting for ya :)
When I do get back, I will have a very interesting story to share, along with a few recipes, tips and ideas that I have gained along the way, so stay tuned!
