POTSies are people who have POTS. Since I have received my diagnosis (and even before), I have met so many POTSies! Today, I had the pleasure of meeting a POTsie who I went to high school with for 3 years. Jess is a year younger than me and graduated from SJA in 2013. It was so nice to talk to someone who is in the same situation as me. She is in a sorority, does amazing things for her university, and works multiple jobs. She has a list of diagnoses as long as mine, or even longer. Although, my brother is a POTsie and is literally in the room next to mine, talking to Jess was amazing and something that I definitely needed. We didn't stop talking for 3 hours straight! We compared diseases and medications like nobody's business. People sitting next to us were looking at us like we were crazy. We also chatted about school, our blessings, our futures (and the multitude of things they could contain), and our pill boxes. I know that I am never alone in my battle with my chronic illnesses but to be able to talk to somebody about all of the these things and someone who is so similar to me was a great release!
In other news, I GOT A 4.0!! This is my first 4.0 in college and I could not be more overjoyed! For everything that I went through this semester, I was happy and thankful with the 3.75 I thought I was going to get.
Today was an overall amazing day! I hope everyone has a wonderful break (whether it has already started or you still a little while left)!
Until next time,
A :)
