Journal Entry for September 30, 2009
I started my NA class. I didn't understand how to hear a blood pressure for a while, but now I can do it just fine.

I've been through a lot in my life, definitely. I was born with a chronic medical condition called hydrocephalus. Sometimes, it causes me problems and other times I barely know I have a serious medical condition. I'm in CNA classes right now and soon after I graduate the class in November, I'm going to go to Sauk Valley Community College for their 2 year nursing program. I plan on eventually working at the new children's hospital in Chicago, Illinois on the neurosurgery floor. I have 9 horses, 1 dog, 3 cats, and my mom and I also have turtles. Right now, I live with my mom, but I go back and forth between my mom in Rock Falls and my grandma in Chicago. My aunt has a profile on here too. Her name is tryn2bhappy

I'm 18 yrs old. I've had hydrocephalus since birth. I was born at 27 weeks. From the time I was born until now, I've had 29 operations. I've had 7 of those operations just in 2009!
I just got officially diagnosed with scoliosis on 9/19/2008 while at inpatient treatment for my anorexia. The doctor said that my scoliosis is caused by my eating disorder, but even if my eating disorder is under control, the scoliosis will NEVER go away :( The cause very well could be my anorexia, but scoliosis DOES run in my immediate family, so I could have gotten it from that too. We really have no idea. The MD jumped straight to the anorexia just because anorexia can cause scoliosis.
I was born at 27 weeks gestation weighing 1.5 pounds and I was only 8 inches long. I was born by emergency C section and I came out blue. I was in the NICU for 4 months until I reached 5 pounds. I have congenital hydrocephalus. I was born with a hole in my heart that was closed surgically 2 hours after I was born. I've had 1
I was teased horribly as a kid and through high school!
My left eye has been "lazy" ever since I was born. I have hydrocephalus and 2 VPL (ventriculopleural) shunts, and when they malfunction or I have an infection, my left eye gets even lazier and goes farther out than normally. I've worn glasses since I was in preschool.
In February of 2007, I was taken to the ER and hospitalized for bloody diarrhea. I mistakenly thought it was Crohn's Disease and continued to have bouts of diarrhea all that year. In January of this year, I started to have a few problems with my other medical condition. Now, a few months later and just finished with my last surgery (4/28/09) I'm having issues with both chronic diarrhea and also bouts of constipation.
6/19/09, my grandma's breast biopsy confirmed breast cancer. Her surgeon said that he can completely cure her because the cancer is so small. I'm going a little crazy.
Mom and Dad have been separated since before I was born, met Dad @ age 12 for the 1st time. Stopped communication @ 15. Just started talking to half brother and sister @ 18. Haven't spoken directly to Dad yet. Live back and forth between Grandma and Mom.
i have scarring on my lungs from a previous infection. It causes me to have severe shortness of breath and coughing spells.
heartburn.... can't eat spicy foods or drink soda anymore...
chronic headaches and stomach aches due to hydrocephalus and 2 ventriculoperitoneal shunts... also have chronic constipation as a result
