Thank you for taking the time to visit and read my blog. I hope you find the information I write here about my disease, achalasia, helpful. My goal is to have one less person not have to go through what I went through. I hope to be an advocate for this disease, and hope people can learn from it, as well.

Summer

I can't believe it's almost August. That's terrifying. August is the biggest month of summer (for me):

-August 1: Rent is due. Gag.
-August 7: Back from vacation! And moving out of our house :(
-August 10: Mom and little siblings start back to school. This means I get the car more. Win!
-August 15: I turn 22. So old. AND this year John Mayer comes to town! YES!
-August 16: Move back to Muncie.
-August 23: SENIOR YEAR STARTS. SCARY.

That's really it. But still. It's nuts! Anyways...

After experimenting with food and such and figuring out that within the past month it's hard to eat certain things, I am no longer allowed: pasta, bread, bagels, fries, tortillas, rice, and my meat must be cut up into very small bites. Ew :(

I've been getting sick again lately, and it's a tad concerning, considering uhhh, I had surgery to "correct" this problem. I'm making an appointment for another endoscopy before I go back to school to see how everything's looking. Hopefully this not eating the above items will help out a lot.

Anyone have suggestions for things I should/shouldn't eat? My mom thinks I can have all of those carb-y type things, but they might have to be gluten free. Guess we'll try them out! Also, does anyone know anyone else with achalasia?

Thanks for bearing with me in the "I haven't blogged in so long" area :) Hope you all are doing well!
