Personal Triumphs and Cruising.

Phew. This is an emotional story for me. It's causing me grief just trying to write about it. Ok, deep breath, here goes... For more than a decade I've been really sick. Like frequent flier miles at the ER sick. Not knowing what it's like to go a day without vomiting sick. Coughing up blood on the regular sick. Doing laps at the ICU sick. You get it. At one point I looked up and I was on an ignorant amount of meds and was over 430lbs. I was in pain. I stopped sleeping. I was miserable, I wanted to die.
