My life at a glance!

Hello, My name is Chrisy. I am a dog mom to a seven year old chihuahua. She is my emotional companion and she is my everything. I live in a great area, where the vibes are soothing and the homes tell their own stories. Its a nice victorian style town with memories to make me smile. I didn't grow up here, but it has made an impact on me that i will cherish forever. I am very excited to start a new chapter of my life and bring a new adventure to my readers. Now to tell you more about me. I enjoy traveling, spending time with my family, and of course, hanging out with my boyfriend. His name is Clell. He has been a great boyfriend and a even better, a best friend. I am disabled and have been since i was nineteen years old. I was in college and found out i had a brain tumor. It was scary and yet, i was calm about it. You see, I have this rule in life that I follow. Its easy to follow if you have faith. " If GOD brings you to it, he will get you through it!" I started following this rule when i first graduated high school. I have always been a little accident prone and even when I was younger I would run into screen doors, trip over rocks, and I even broke my finger one time trying to catch a screen door from shutting. No matter the odd incidences, I was still a happy-go-lucky kind of person and I always have been. I graduated high school with a scholarship and was accepted to Missouri Southern State University in Joplin Missouri. It was a great college I made lots of new friends and I even met a lot of new people that I am still friends with today. As I started into my second year of college, I started having blackout spells which caused my vision to be pitch black but I was not passed out. After two spells I told my mom and dad and my mom got me an appointment right away to see the an eye doctor in Joplin. He sent me to the Missouri eye institute for further observation and they requested a MRI (with and without contrast) to make sure what they seen was official. Now of course they weren't telling me anything except that they seen something and glasses weren't going to help unless they knew what it was 100%. After my MRI, within 48 hours I was being rushed to Columbia Missouri to have brain surgery; they had found that the object they were seeing in my right eye happened to be a brain tumor that was wrapped around my right optical nerve. After my first surgery they removed a lot of it but couldn't remove all of it without causing me to become permanently blind in both eyes. Fast forward four years and four surgeries later, and they finally had everything under control by implanting a shunt in the brain cavity that they removed the tumor from. Since my last surgery until today it has been five years and I am blessed to say I am healthy but still do contain a portion of the tumor. I am stronger and much closer to my family because of this major part of my life. I also live by a rather crazy way that most people don't agree with but my life story isn't over and I have lots to say so I live daily without any regrets or fears of the consequences or the effects it has on my life. So that is me and a nutshell as far as everything else goes I have since been married, divorced, and moved back in with my parents twice but am still strong and physically able to do normal things excluding driving a vehicle and working due to my lifelong condition. But don't get me wrong, I don't let that hold me back. I go on trips with my mom and my grandma, I enjoy life to its fullest, and I see everyday as a new day to do something different. Now don't get me wrong, I do have days where I am depressed, have high anxiety, and there are also days where I can't function due to a headache. So everyday is a struggle but I face it head-on. Like I said before, I am very close with my family and I have a few friends that have stuck around through it all with me and have been my rock through everything. But now my new adventure begins and I am looking forward to every moment, every new person I get to meet, and every blog I get to share with my readers. I will be doing weekly blogs and occasionally weekday blogs if I just need to clear my mind. I'm not doing this for anyone but me. Next week I am going to shar some other information with my readers so I hope you come back for more good stories! I do believe that you will find out my travel bucket list or favorite restaurants or I would even go as far as sharing embarrassing stories about myself. I don't know yet. So please stay tuned for a interesting journey with me throughout the new upcoming years of my life! ☕Chrisy's Coffee Confessions
