Cal-EZ Blog

I made a promise to myself when I agreed to do this blog, that I would be 100% honest. I had no idea how hard it would be being so honest with myself and for the world to read. I have always thought of myself and my life as an open book, but when it comes to living with hypoparathyroidism I shut my book and thought I had to hide this from the world, and part of me still does.

I have spent years being made to feel bad for my illness, and I suffered at the hands of some of the doctor's that were supposed to help me.

Prior to my surgery I thought I had it all. I loved my job. I had 2 amazing kids and a wonderful boyfriend. We had family outings, played board games, and spent the warm summer days at the beach. I woke up and, in an instant, it was all gone.

When I got sick I had this weird fantasy that everyone would rally around and help me and care for me. Isn't that what family and friends do? I soon had a wake-up call that this wasn't going to be the case. This led me to believe that maybe the bond I thought I had with them really wasn't that strong. It became very clear very quickly that I was heading into this mostly on my own.

Welcome to my world, I am so excited to have this opportunity to share my life with you. Bear with me and my scatter-brain, I think you'll enjoy the ride.

This is my life, living with Hypoparathyroidism.

I was and still am that girl that would do anything for anyone. I did my time in school but knew once I was done with high school I was done with school. I had a dream and I wanted to do anything I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. I lived my life to the fullest and I loved with everything I had. I've traveled to more places than I could count and I've been in love so many times! I do things big.
