Me: *Gets diagnosed with a disability*

Me: ok just bear with me.

Me: As soon as I get better I'll be all over this

Me: Won't be long now, I'm sure this will pass.

Me: No cause like in sure ive been this way for years so idk why its taking this long.

Chronic illnesses shouldn't last more than like 5 minutes. The rest of my life is just excessive.

"DO NOT OPERATE HEAVY MACHINERY WHILE TAKING THIS MEDICATION"

Got it. No tractors or fax machines.

I don't discuss my illness for pity, sympathy, or attention. I discuss my illness with you, so you'll leave and let me go back to sleep.

Weirdly enough, your symptoms don't just disappear when your lab results come back normal

Just once, I'd like my health to be on thick ice

Artist: Martin Rosner - I changed the words for chronic illness

“Are you having a health emergency again?”

That's a bold assumption to think I ever stopped!

Y'all! I'm getting better! 1.4 mile walk on Monday, 1.78 miles yesterday. It's kinda like a marathon - if a marathon were 3 miles long. This is furthest I've been able to walk since getting sick in June 2024.

This is both somewhat embarrassing AND feels like a huge accomplishment, but I am celebrating All The Wins!
