What do you think of when you hear “4-H”? Is it lambs, broilers, steer, and rabbits? What about photography? Yes, photography is an exciting aspect of 4-H.

A check-up from the neck up...and beyond

I don’t typically write in the first person. I think the last time I did was when I publicly shared my colonoscopy experience. I hope my journey with thyroid disease and navigating the healthcare system will help someone else, so in that same spirit of transparency and awareness, I’m again lifting the veil - albeit a little higher. Please pardon the adult language, they are mostly quotes.
It all began with a sonogram in May.
