ABOUT ME:

I want to go back a year ago when I was like the energizer bunny that ran on no sleep and could handle overtime. I have earned the name 'OG' the original germ...as I was always sick it seems. I was in and out of hospitals and Dr. offices...CAT scans and whatever else. Finally on a regular yearly check up my bloodwork was positive for autoimmune disease....on a downward spiral within a year I finally have some answers. I was diagnosed with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis and a Pituitary Tumor. The battle is not easy, pain, discouragement, lack of support, no energy, no outlet, no job, no state assistance...lost and trying to find my way. With that I my plate I still want to cook it up for a party and play with Boston Terriers....and the journey begins.....
