Nobody Said It Was Easy. But Nobody Ever Said It Would Be This Hard Either.

Obviously this is not my most glamorous picture of myself. I wanted to share it none the less because truth is chronic illness is ANYTHING but glamorous I am now admitted to the hospital recieving IV for a UTi I am on a overflow unit for the er department it is calmer here. After sitting in the waiting room for 12 and half hours I was grateful just to be able to lay down. I had to advocate for myself when I realized by sitting in my wheelchair so long I was becoming sicker. As bad and chaotic the er was and mom and I laughed at point out of nervousness and exhaustion. The sad truth is we saw so many people there in desperate need of mental health care I am extremely fortunate to have access to proper mental health treatment. I want to thank my mom for everything she does for me as a caregiver she laughs when I thank her because she says I'm your mom. I am still extremely grateful. I miss Nikki like crazy and being able to use medical marijuana when I want or need to I wish I was a home right now the is the safest place to be me to be #beyourownadvocate #antibiotics #brokenhealthcaresyste#nursesareawesome #grateful #mentalhealthisimportant #mentalhealth #chronicuti #chroniillness (at UC Davis Children's Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwoIILGhPtv/?igshid=19oovlsydkfr7
