I am a 23 year old from Alabama, living in Nashville, Tennessee. Yeah, I know you're thinking about banjo picking, toilet bowl flower pots and cotton fields. Though I do not own a toilet bowl flower pot, nor do I live near a cotton field, I am proud to say that yes, i DO own a banjo, as well as a guitar, a tenor guitar, a mandolin, and an organ. And I'm happy about it. I just recently graduated from nursing school at the University of North Alabama, and am working as an RN at St. Thomas Hospital on the Joint Replacement floor. This takes up most of my time, unfortunately, but whenever I'm not studying, I'm playing/writing music, sewing or doing art, or hiking and mountain biking with my dog Naima! I have a great life. End of story.

So this weekend was AWFUL!!! Monday I had to get an IV because I got so dehydrated; they gave me a steroid in the IV because my throat was almost swollen shut, an antibiotic, phenergan and a pain killer to take along with the other ones i had…. I really felt like I was dying!!! Luckily, Dillon and Chloe were there by my side, and so were Dillon’s parents and my mom came in town shortly after to help me. Tuesday was so much better, and I got another steroid shot to help, and today is the best I’ve felt- I just ate some creamy potato soup and it feels so good to have real food on my stomach!! I just turned it all over to God, and He has helped me get through this one day at a time! I am so glad that this surgery is behind me… it was rough! Now I can start focusing on my summer vacation finally!
Thanks everyone for the encouragement and support!
