A quick #introduction!
I’m Natalie and I’m a #queer and #neurodiverse cyborg who lives in #Delaware. I’m currently a #javaScript #developer but I used to be a #dataAnalyst.
I survived #necrotizingPancreatitis in 2018 and have lots of complications, including #t3c #diabetes and #chronicAscites. I complain about medical costs a lot, but I love my #insulinPump.
I’m also a #knitter, #watercolorist, and I’ve lost the #hugoAward twice. I read a lot of #SFF.
@Johannab Hello! Nice to meet you! Pancreatitis sucks and is literally the most painful thing I have ever experienced in my life. It also completely changed my life.
@eilatan survivor *fistbump*
Life certainly did get different.
@Johannab Different sure is one word for it. 😂
@eilatan Welcome aboard! 🍻
@neonknightoa I've actually been here since 2017, I just sort of stopped posting in 2019-ish. But I will take your welcome in the spirit it was intended and say hello! back. 👋
@eilatan I was going through the introductions, didn't notice that, lol! 🍻
@neonknightoa No worries! Cheers! (I can't drink, so coffee it is for me!) ☕️
@eilatan Greetings.
@Ricardus hi.
@eilatan hello, fellow pancreatitis survivor! You’re the first I’ve met. It’s been 24!years!
