Now What?

Hmm, now what? I guess I introduce myself and get this party started. My name is Lisa and this should be one "interesting" blog for sure. Why? Because I've just been through one life changing experience and no one has any idea what happened. 

Let me give you a teaser.

And so it begins. Another treatment. Hold on with.me and wish me luck. This is a bitter sweet moment. Strap myself in, have to trust, and hopefully.I'll come.out.the other side the. Same person. Deep breathe, gulp, already hooked up can't.you tell? And I'm off to the races! Hope to see you soon! I sent this on my cell phone a few months ago to a few family and friends when I was hooked up for an experiemental drug treatment to treat chronic pain. Folks, this is NOT my usual way of life. (And for the record, I am not using auto spell check so yes, I know I just spelled that word wrong. Before May 15th, 2015, I would have fixed it. Now I'm not.)  OK...so what? Well, let me tell you about myself. I'm just a regular lady living a not so regular life.  I grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a Mormon, so that's the only life style I've ever known. I have 4 siblings and 2 great parents and I had a happy but poor childhood. Yay me. I went to college when I was 18 to study special education and to my utter surprise I ended up getting married instead! No, I didn't have to get married. I wanted to get married and it's the best decision I ever made. Still, being married at 19 and both of you being in school full time is not easy. My husband, David, was studying to be an engineer and I decided to get a double major for both severe/profound and mild/moderate special education. We were young, poor, in love, and had the whole world ahead of us.  What could go wrong?
