I saw a random reel yesterday on Instagram (some sort of influencer/ doctor person?) about a medical incident that occurred on her recent flight.

It started out nicely...I woke up on time, got my morning routine in...But that's kind of where it stopped? I got wrapped up in some… Continue reading Some days are a…..”Nope”
