Apparently 'Vomiting so hard it comes out your nose' is the motivator I needed to spend more hours trying to get my IV antiemetics refilled.

Infusion Pharmacy continues to irk me - you'd think they'd want to keep a patient that brings them thousands of dollars of work each week.

@TiffanyAndLupus @CarlyRM @RedheadedEMT That's where our lovely #Spoonie Family comes in - Can't thank y'all enough for understanding.

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@Sealswithwings @jameson_rich @bostonheartmom wowzers - what a bonding experience for the two of you!

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@TiffanyAndLupus @CarlyRM @RedheadedEMT I don't think it's malicious. I think him not/refusing to understand is how he copes w/ my illness.

@MandiBPro @CarlyRM @MightyCasey @MelSmithJones @MsWZ @jennylaurello <3 it! I vote R2D2 serve the wine at our next #UnicornSquad conclave.

@Sealswithwings @jameson_rich @bostonheartmom "Don't worry Dad, thanks to surgery my cleavage's amazing & no one'll even notice my scars!"

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

Ah, this brings us to the other handicapped parking paradox: Dad won't let me drive because he thinks I'm too sick. https://t.co/I0lSG30ams

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@bostonheartmom @CarlyRM It's a point of absurdity- I'm in a wheelchair + Dad & Sis are on crutches - but heaven forbid we park handicapped!

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@CarlyRM my mom gets it. Last night I she held my hair while I puked & later channeled your tough mom persona & made me drink a smoothie.

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@bostonheartmom @CarlyRM I just remind myself it's out of love - he/grandma believe that health TMI may hurt my future job/love prospects.

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

More family cluelesness: they say not to use my handicapped placard bc 'someone who really needs it' may come. @CarlyRM @bostonheartmom

[Tami Dew Rich, MBA @bostonheartmom]

@jess_jacobs @jameson_rich oh wow... dad means well? Truth it's not his experience, it's urs. The ones with #IMPX get the say-so. Sorry dad

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@bostonheartmom @carlyRM I just have to remember it's really just him channeling his mom's opinion on keeping medical issues top secret.

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

Ah, healthcare, I'd almost forgotten your absurd disconnects: spending my day connecting DC & CA branches of a national pharmacy chain.

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

My rxn: hiding scars at your collar bone requires a turtleneck. In this heat that'd make me pass out & really cause a scene! @bostonheartmom

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

Had a lecture from dad today on how I should hide my chest surgery scars better. Reminded me of @jameson_rich's article @bostonheartmom.

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@bostonheartmom I'm pretty sure an article in the @nytimes means @jameson_rich is well on his advocacy journey!

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@Raelshark I can't tell you how much glee that .gif/meme makes me smile. Castle is king of circular reasoning!

[Jess Jacobs @jess_jacobs]

@brucedarrow haha! Next time I'll tell them to just send you the report and save myself 10 hours waiting for Cards sign off ;-P
