I was recently and unexpectedly diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in October 2019. Back in October I was just a regular college sophomore until one day I went to the emergency room for intense stomach pain. I was there for over two weeks because of a bowel obstruction which led to a perforation and needed emergency surgery. I then flew home to be transferred to a different hospital and recover there. My favorite part of the entire two weeks was flying home, lol. I wasn't hooked up to anything and felt free for the first time. The most awkward part was walking through security and have a TSA agent feel my abdominal drains and ask what they are! One of the good things that has come out of my diagnosis was the amazing community I've found! The IBD community is so welcoming and I've met some amazing people through it! Feel free to follow my instagram to hear more about my life with Crohn's Disease!"
