Birthdays are special-59 years and counting🥳

Thanks to family & friends for making me feel special!

8+ weeks post-op and waking up stronger everyday!

💜 Take one day at a time

💜 Enjoy the big and little wins

💜 Be kind to yourself

💜 YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

Recovery is hard!

6 weeks out of surgery and getting stronger with each day. An 8 hour surgery requires a long recovery.

I’ve packed my patience and appreciate how far I’ve come!

As I tell my fellow #IBD Warriors, one day at a time and baby steps all the way. 💜💜💜

Today is Day 3 of Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week!

I've chosen to make IBD visible by sharing a photo of the completion of my 10-hour TPN infusion.

TPN stands for total parenteral nutrition. It supplies me with all the nutrients my body doesn't absorb due to my short gut. It keeps me hydrated and feeling well.

This is how I gratefully begin every day!
IBD Can't Stop Me!!!!

One of the things I love most about attending #IBD conferences is the opportunity to listen to some of the best #IBDologists in the field.

Great panel!
