Sarah Stafford






This is my BODY, inside and out; but it is not ME. After years of medical procedures, poking and prodding, I am left only with a compilation of x-rays, CT scans, ultrasounds, and MRI’s. These scans do not compare in size to the mountain that is my medical records. To them I am just a number, another patient, another sick person. I AM NOT SICK! I have done things sick people do not do. I have gone places they have not gone. I am Sarah, a girl with unfortunate genetics. I am Sarah, a woman with only half of her colon. I am Sarah, a person who has suffered 12 kidney stones. I am Sarah, the hypoglycemic. But I am beautiful, inside and out.
