I decided to create this blog after a sudden onset of a serious medical condition. Scroll down to the bottom to start at the beginning of this journey. The events that have occurred over the past three weeks are very interesting. I have many people who want to be updated, and thought this might be an easy way to keep people in the loop! The initial postings are long because they basically summarize the initial two weeks of my illness.

About Me
- Wendy
- I grew up in Florida and met my husband during high school, although we only dated a few months back then. We started dating again his last semester of college. We both attended the Univ. of Florida. We have been married for almost 18 years and have three beautiful children, ages 14, 12, and 8. We also have a cat and two soft coated Wheaten Terriers. We now live in New Hampshire and enjoy the seasons and all the beauty of New Enlgland. Camping has become our favorite past time and we especially love heading north to Bar Harbor. I graduated from Nursing School at UF in 1992 and have mostly done cardiac care nursing. I tried my hand at some home health when I was pregnant with my youngest and have also done some skilled nursing. My true love is cardiac nursing!
Wendy,
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and read the whole saga. I'm glad to find out that you're completely pheo-free. While you were at Beth Israel getting diagnosed March 2009 I was down the road at MGH getting my own pheo removed. All the med students were so interested, it was like I was the belle of the ball. I hope you continue to be well.

So glad to find your blog and read your story. I was diagnosed with a Carotid Paraganglioma (Paras are like Pheos outside of the Adrenals but the ones in the neck often don't have the scary BP stuff to go with them, thank goodness) this summer. I'm in a big 'hurry up and wait' right now because I'm also pregnant. Surgery will come after baby.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to read your story because 1) You're a success story--I need that! ;) 2) You make me feel better about the anxiety I have waiting for the surgery and wondering about what will come after.
Anyway--thank you for being here in Blogland. You make me feel less alone!
