Life lately 💕

It’s been a tough week navigating chronic pain and adjusting to my new Hickman, but I’m learning to slow down and give myself grace. 🌸

I’ll be sharing some content for HPN Awareness Week starting Sunday — so stay tuned for that 💫

✨ Exciting news — my story with Care+Wear just launched!

I opened up about the hidden struggles of chronic illness: silent grief, self-image, and finding strength in community. Sharing this wasn’t easy, but I hope it helps others feel seen and less alone.

✨ Finding Strength Beyond Chronic Illness ✨

I’m honored to share that my story is now live with @careandwear In it, I open up about the silent grief of “what might have been,” how medical devices impact self-image, and how I’ve found strength through community and advocacy.

Sharing my journey hasn’t always been easy — but my hope is that it helps others feel seen, understood, and reminded that they’re not walking this path alone. 💙

✨ Update time!

This afternoon my old single lumen Hickman/Broviac—after 22 years!—was retired and replaced with a brand new double lumen central line. 💙

Going in, there was some uncertainty about whether they’d be able to get the old one out or place the new one, but thankfully everything went beautifully. 🙌 They got the new line in right away, and for the old one they had to carefully dilate around the vein, but it came out safely.

My IR doctor reminded me he doesn’t want me keeping lines in longer than 10 years (though he admitted he was part of the decision to let this one stay so long 😅).

Tonight, I’m feeling a mix of relief and gratitude—22 years is a long run, and this line was truly a part of me. Here’s hoping this new one serves me just as well in the years to come. ✨
