Long term goals - would have to be writing childrens books & my autobiography
short term goals - to have my own business making ragdolls

Childhood

I wanted to write abit about Shellybobbins AKA michelle but as a child got called shellybobs hence where my business name has come from, at the age of 2 I was diagnoised with *Stills Diease* a rare form of Arthritis, my operations have been on and off since the age of 2 & half, having this diasese its never stopped me from achieving anything ive set my mind too, determination, drive,ambition,self belief these are all qualities that i posess and which help me to succeed in life.

after falling and my knee swelled up it became almost bent in half and wouldnt straighten, to make it worse doctors didnt know what I had. The doctors and a professor decided to stiffen and straigten it untill later on in life when more research had been done with the disease, as walking was very difficult and also was begining to effect my hip & also my back. An operation to stiffen my leg was agreed, they had tried alot of other ways to sort out the bend, one way the hospital used was traction & weighted down with sandbags across my tummy to stop me sliding down the bed.

MY GOAL WAS JUST TO WALK

AGAIN.

Well as you can imagain, I made friends with everyone, on the ward you could smell me first ! the staff where amazing, use to prend play and draw scars on the nurses hands, mix talc and perfume to make a paste & make it better how they laughed ! it was ok until id use a perfume that had gone off lol.
