As much as its difficult living with sickle cell disorder, I try not let it define me or get in d way of my life, I try my best to enjoy my life and appreciate d love i get from my parents, siblings, uncles/aunties, cousins, family friends and few friends. Despite all d pains, traumas, hospital admissions, complications, surgeries and even insults from some, I’m still here living my life. At some point everything seemed so impossible, I lost some good opportunities, job opportunities, lost some good relationship with some good men too, received very annoying insults like ‘dis ones parents are wasting their money’, ‘dis one can never bear a child, where D strength and blood wey she was use kwanu’ all bcos of SCD, den came d complications and series of surgeries in India, loss of my job wit d bank Iowa's working with after I came home, I still braced up, dusted dem all, and had a deep tot plus medical advice and I decided dt i want a child.
