Me in a Nutshell

Hi there!
I am a 50 year old male from the St. Louis Missouri area who had a heck of a 2018. If you are on this page, you can probably relate.

I was "Whippled" on April 3, 2018. I call it my second birthday and the rebirth of a new me.

Prior to the surgery I called myself "the healthiest sick person you will ever meet" when asked how I was feeling. I had no symptoms once my original bout of pancreatitis cleared.

Life sometimes has a different plan.

My goal for this is in part to just put out to the the universe some of my triumphs and fears. I never forget I am blessed beyond words, but the human side of me still fears the unknown at times.

I hope that you find some comfort in the things discussed and it helps you on your journey. Say Hi, Email me
