I post what's on my mind.
‘You can’t go home again’ - isn’t necessarily that places change, but that people do. So nothing ever looks the same.
Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

I love when people say: I had a _______ and they died of cancer.

My mom told a lady that I had cancer. First she said no, then she said, ” I had a sister with Leukemia but she died from it.”

How is that suppose to make me feel?

Sloan and Kettering for the win!

The doctor called my mom back and he said it sounds like the side effects of the 3 chemo drugs I got in my spine. He is referring me to the hip oncology specialist. 

The problem is they don’t accept our insurance because I don’t have medicaid yet. We have to wait for override authorization. The other thing that scares me is all the walking in NYC.

Are there any spoonies in NYC that can give me tips for navigating the city?

I was so excited today.
My orthopedist basically said because I am in a wheelchair that is why my hip is hurting because nothing on the tests explain why I’m hurting.
He wants me to do physical therapy again.
My mom asked for an MRI with contrast and he said to her,if it’ll make you feel better.

I’m starting to feel like he doesn’t believe me anymore.
He wants me to walk, so I’m gonna start walking again despite the pain. He wants proof that it hurts.

No wonder why I told my social worker at 16, when I turn 18 I am not going to the doctors anymore. They did a mini intervention saying that because I had cancer I had to.

Doctors give me a headache. Just get me into Sloan, fix me, and everything will be alright.

I decided to try bingiton because I got tired of seeing the commercial.

Google won! but I decided to try out Bing.com just to see what the hype is about and it sucks.

the hardest thing about having an illness is letting people help you.

I went to the petting zoo at the fair.
First off, it’s scaring being in a wheelchair at the petting zoo.
The cows were eating my shoes, the sheep stole my cup, and the llama tried to eat my hair.

Secondly, I want a cow! I fell in love. They were so cute and precious.

Find spoonies from around the world.

Spoonie Tumblr Map directions

click edit
play around with zoom to find your location on the map
click the peg(between the hand and squiggly line)
click your location and add you name/tumblr name and whatever you want to add
then click ok and you’re done
if you still need help or need clearer instructions let me know. I can also add you on to the map if you want.
please reblog, so we can fill this map up with spoonies

Why would you want people to know where you live though?

its not the exact location, it is just supposed to help spoonies find spoonies near them. Wouldn’t it be cool to have a spoonie tumblr meet up? That was the idea for this map.

I haven’t had a big appetite so I thought soup would be good since it is raining. We didn’t have any so I decided to make one.

Big Mistake.

It was probably only like 30 minutes and I used the food processor for chopping and put a stool by the stove so I can relieve pressure on my left leg. 

I’m in so much pain, I’ve been refusing pain pills because of the consequences but I am seriously contemplating it because today I am suppose to go to the county fair

I can’t wait till Tuesday. Maybe he can diagnose it, finally.

I want to eat everything, the problem is I don’t have an appetite and don’t want to eat. 

If that makes any sense.

 fogwithwheels said: That sucks! I was really hoping for you that you finally found a place! I hope the next place works out!!!!!!

Me too! The thing is my mom called the lady and she would ignore the phone calls instead of just telling my mom, they rented it.

I really want a place, I’m tired of these 17 stairs.
