Thoughts / Experiences

As this blog grows, I'm finding my purpose, hopes and intentions for continued posts evolving as well. One purpose is to share with other Sickle Cell patients the things that have benefited my life, so they too can see if it benefits theirs. The second purpose is increased awareness. In part, this section will contain some things I've experienced as a result of living with Sickle Cell. Hopefully this will help others understand Sickle Cell patients a bit better.
