I look at this pic and think of how awesome my God, family and internal makeup really are!!!

This was three days past the opening of the most troublesome and painful cyst I’ve ever had. It was located on my right upper abdomen. About three inches across and sat out more than an inch from my body. The pain was so intense, that when I stood, the gravity, caused sweat to form on my forehead. Any pressure caused horrible pain, and that included moving my bowels……yeah, imagine having to dread a natural bodily function.

As I said, that was a horrific experience… The worst single cyst I’ve ever had. But, when I look at the picture of me wearing my red celebration hair💁🏾….I feel proud to be me! Proud that despite the struggle and the pain… I’M STILL HERE! I don’t wither up, shrink back or give up, no matter how tough the going gets! I continue to fight, laugh, love and live and nothing will change that!

Yes, I have HS, but HS doesn’t have me! Nor any HS like situation that life brings my way… I’m a warrior and always will be!!💪🏽💕
