Sickle Cell and Living Well

This blog is intended to help people of all ages cope with many of the challenges that come with Sickle Cell Disease. When first launched, my target audience was teens and parents. Over the years, however, the scope of my content has expanded to help people of all ages who may struggle with similar complications as I. Whether you’re reading this for yourself or to help a loved one cope with Sickle Cell, I believe there is something here for everybody affected by this disease and other illnesses.

My Hip Problems

Avascular Necrosis, the death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood flow and oxygen, causes many Sickle Cell patients to need hip and/or shoulder replacements at some point in their life; at times in their early 20's. At the age of thirty-nine, I have reached that point. I need both my hips replaced. I share my experiences in the below posts.
