About this site...

I have had a life threatening illness for seven years. It has brought me down. It has taken most of what I own. I am in debt. Yet, I still see the good in life. Take a look at life through my eyes. There is something wonderful to see everyday, if we stop to look.

About the author...

My name is Steve. My friends call me SOwens. I am a Cushing's Disease survivor. I have fought this disease for years. On January 30th, 2009 I had a radical surgery bilateral adrenalectomy (BLA) in the attempt to cure it. This is my day to day struggle to recover and win. My goal is to tell my story the only way I know how, from the heart.

Blah Blah Blah...

Muscle pain, bone pain, and hip pain are all worse on rainy days. Even my hands hurt. While I feel better since my cure, it is sinking in that recovery really does take awhile. Having no adrenal glands has it's own suckie moments. The things that really still bother me the most are:
  • Bone and muscle pain
  • hip pain
  • short term memory loss
  • mental challenges
  • stamina
I am working with PT/OT on that stuff. It is just slow going...but it is going. While it sounds bad, the good thing is things seem to be improving, ever so slowly. With Cushing's Disease, I wasn't healing. So while my body is blah, my spirits are not.
