Hey guys!

My new phone arrived today, unfortunately I was unable to gain access to the email I set this account with & as I don’t know the password I will no longer be able to post here.

I hope you will continue following my journey on my new blog:

I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.

[scientiablr]

honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March

Hey, I’ll give it a shot!

This post did not age well...

[cutespoonie]

me: *casually mentions how sick I am*

person: do you need to go to the ER?

me: no no, this is normal

person: *looks confused and horrified*

person: *tries to relate*

This tiktoker shared some simple ASL for people to know to help deaf/hoh people communicate their needs while everyone is wearing masks !

I can't recall when I jumped last or where, I don't know when or i will ever be able to again.

I wish I had dated this when I wrote it as a draft. I jumped again on March 16, 2016.

Goodbye enbrel, hello humira…

[diariesofanexballerina2]

I remember this girl, she was scared shitless to be put on a new medication that might not work. Well it’s been 5 or 6 years and our levels have fluctuated but they’ve stayed below severe. I hardly need my cane anymore & i don’t swell up to often. Leaving enbrel behind was the best decision we made.

Hey guys!

This is my new account: Diariesofanexballerina2, original I know, I probably won’t be super active on it until May when I get my new phone. Hope to see you there!

New account

Hey guys,

I created my personal tumblr over 10 years ago, unfortunately I don’t remember my password. The email I made my account with has since been closed due to hacking.

I’ve been posting via my phone which needs replacing, soon. I’m afraid I won’t be able to log in once I get a new phone due to the fact that I don’t know my password & can’t reset it.

I am going to be making a new blog in the next few days & I’ll share the name here. I will continue to post here until I get a new phone, but this way once that happens, you’ll all know where to find me☺️

P.S. - I started this blog 7 years ago as a newly diagnosed young adult with RA. I was scared and I needed to vent to people who didn’t know me personally, I never expected this blog to grow past 10 followers, let alone to be asked for questions about my life. I know I’m not a hugely popular blog but just know I’ve noticed everyone who follows me & im greatful for you.

UPDATE: my new account is: Diariesofanexballerina2

Thanks for joining me on my journey!

Hey guys-

I’m posting my obligatory “nurse-in-mask” picture and taking this chance to remind you why quarantine is important. Self-isolation and social distancing is hard on everyone, no one is exempt from that. In particular, every night I’m seeing how hard it is on my patients. These people who have no immune system to speak of are working through their cancer diagnosis alone because the hospital currently cannot allow any visitors. The next time you think what you’re doing to help flatten the curve doesn’t matter, remember this: you’re staying home so I can stay healthy enough to continue to come to work and provide them with extensive medical care (as well as a good laugh because let’s face it, I’m hilarious). And most importantly, you’re staying home so their family members can stay healthy enough for them to be able to go home to. Quarantine SUCKS. But thank you for doing it, because what you are doing MATTERS. And it’s truly benefitting some of my most favorite people in the world.

Love,

your friendly neighborhood oncology nurse 🎗💘

THANK YOUU

Please don't order groceries online if you're physically and mentally able to go to the supermarket yourself.

This is not a time to take the convenient option. People who aren't able to do their own shopping literally can't get delivery slots and are having to put themselves at risk to get food, or face the reality of going hungry.

Being kind isn't just about your tangible interactions, it's also about thinking beyond your own bubble.

[diariesofanexballerina]

This is so me right now. I spent over an hour getting set up with a grocery store. An hour later my order was complete then I found out they had no windows for the next week. I decided to check again later & but got kicked out of the site. My password was wrong and now I am locked out for 2 hours.

I don’t have chronic pain but this artwork is so nice to look at *^*

Just because we’re not writhing on the floor doesn’t mean we’re not hurting. We’ve just gotten really good at hiding it and functioning with it, otherwise we’d literally starve in our beds.

This also works pretty well for numerous mental disabilities, or just generally for any “invisible” disabilities.

[diariesofanexballerina]

I made a Twitter account, would anyone on here be interested in following me?
