Hi! I’m Maria.
Welcome to
my Blog.
Let me introduce myself!
I’m a young lawyer dealing with a chronic illness and physical disability.
By sharing my knowledge and experiences through this blog, I hope to help others dealing with similar circumstances.
For more about me, check out my About Me page. To see all of my posts, check out my Blog page. Or, just keep scrolling.
My Illness
I was diagnosed with gastroparesis, or delayed stomach emptying, in December 2022.
Soon after, I had a feeding tube surgically placed in my abdomen, which I still have today. As a result, I also struggle with chronic pain.
My Move
In July, I moved from Manitoba to Ontario for work.
Travelling by airplane was hard. Moving was even harder. Setting up healthcare was by far the hardest.
My Blog
Over the past year, I have had so many unnecessarily difficult experiences.
So, I was inspired to start a blog. I hope that in sharing my experience, I can help others navigate the minefield that is dealing with disability and chronic illness.
