Dear body ... no matter how imperfect you are I’m proud to call you MINE. You carried me, we survived and we conquered 🙏 they may cut but a superwoman always heals❤️
2008 after I was diagnosed with a rare disease called autoimmune hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis occurs when your immune system mistakes your liver cells for foreign aggressors and creates antibodies to attack them. In simple terms, my body was fighting my own liver
2008-I was diagnosed with hepatitis autoimmune disease, which led to me having a liver Transplant in2013.2014-diagnosed with osteoporosis caused by my meds 2015-lymphadema 2016-Milary TB and the treatment gave me Arthritis gout.2017 I fought,2018 diagnosed myself with happiness
I only started wearing jeans last year and I must say it feels good to take few pair of jeans for fitting or just take a risk on buying them online....
For years they wouldn’t pass my ankle 🙏
Lymphadema has been a journey
I’m actually disgusted by the comments made but guess what “I’M NOT SHAVING” Yal must learn to be comfortable with yourselves instead of trying to make us feel we less beautiful or not human. Tshweni ke m....o
After being diagnosed with so many diseases to studying half my modules in hospital,had an option to dropOUT,to diagnosing myself with happiness this year & asking GOD TO SAVE me....since MaMa wouldn’t make it to my graduation I took her with me .

And he made sure🙏
02/09/15 I did a lymphoscintigraphy
which took 4 hours. The test came back positive but I still came out the nuclear department with a smile and said "Entse ele Modimo today,tomorrow and always" today marks 8years living with Lymphadema.
No matter what my body tells the doctors…
I was only 24 when I had my liver transplant, we are now 34.
Dear Organ Donor, we are a year older. Thank you for the gift of life 🥹🙏 Happy Birthday to me🥂
Dear Organ Donor
I think about you and your family everyday. Your gift of organ donation has allowed me to live with PURPOSE and APPRECIATION.
Much Love
Always & Forever ❤️

2015, I stopped wearing jeans due to Lymphadema 😭 I’d go into the changing room and wouldn’t pass the ankle on my left leg.....
Today I got into a jean, right waist , both legs 😍😍😍IT FEELS GOOD!!!
turning 32 in a couple of days,didn’t think I’d make it to this age.
about 70% liver transplant patients live for 5yrs and 30% die within 5yrs. Baby turns 8 in October,everyday feels like my birthday 🙏 there are still more people to inspire & that’s me giving back to my donor.
When I was first diagnosed with Lymphadema nothing made sense but it all seemed magical. Watching my leg grow and there was nothing I could do about it including the doctors.

I AM NOW A GRADUATE nowhere close to a coffin
It can only be you LORD
If you wanna see the kind of person you are, go to the nearest garage( petrol station) I poured petrol the other day and I didn’t have my card but my phone. The machine couldn’t tap but swipe.
I asked the petrol attendant if I can go home to fetch my card. He agreed without
My doctors vision was to see me recover , my donor’ wish was to save a life and my dream was to LIVE and make Mama proud by graduating .
