"...But You Don't Even Look Sick!"

I found out that my heart was failing in October 2007 at 25 years old.

About me: I am 27, i live in NYC, and I am on a non-stop quest for healing.
I have a chronic illness called Scleroderma / Mixed Connective Tissue Disease. I also have a pacemaker/defibrillator implanted in my chest.

The Scleroderma has affected my heart causing it to be 70% covered in scar tissue.

The docs tell me there is no cure for Scleroderma. Yet, I am determined to cure myself.

Thanks for being in my world

The Kicker has Landed

Celebration in room G91-02 tonight! G for Gangster of course because I must say, I was tough in there.

I have to make this one short because I am in pain and on a lot of loopy narcotics.

Most importantly I am checking in to let everyone know that the procedure was a success. I was in there for a little over 3 hours. The doctors and nurses were true professionals and I felt safe at their hands. I will give some more deets on the whole experience tomorrow when I am not speaking jibberish!

Tomorrow there is nothing planned… no procedures, tests, exams, etc. It’s amazing. So, the Bionic Blogger will have time to post all day long.

*Note, the Bionic Blogger is a name given to me earlier by our close friend. I loved it and just had to put it to use tonight (Thank you SC)!

love and happiness and morphine dreams
