PTSD has been on full blast leading up to getting a fractured IVC filter out of me that I wasn’t aware was in there for years. I work in a hospital and under no circumstances did I ever want to be a patient again. But feeling like a ticking time bomb everyday wasn’t an option anymore either. So many people went into this decision. It was never straight forward. Some said it must come out, others said don’t mess with it because it could go very badly. It came down to the fact that if I don’t act on something I fear, I catastrophize. That’s no way to live. Long story short. I’m amazed that I’m still alive and so grateful for my people. You guys are all that matter to me and I’m so stoked I get more time with all of you 🤘🏽 PS: Dr. Lyons, you are a badass. Thank you, my man 💪🏽 . ❤️📸: @ingridyangyogamd
