Did a thing after work. Following the lead of the great humanitarian Jimmy Carter, I voted early for the first time ever! Proud to cast my vote for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz! Felt so good to turn my ballot in, on the first day of voting here in Connecticut!

.@jadeacarey you did so well today & I’m so proud of you!!! It breaks my heart that our society is so hard on athletes that you feel the need to explain yourself 💔 You’re human ❤️ It’s ok to make mistakes. I can’t wait to watch you in the days to come & I hope you feel better ❤️ You inspire so many & remember there are people at home dreaming of one day being just like you 🥰

This is a gut punch. 💔 If loving gymnastics, beautiful gymnastics the way KJC does, is irrelevant and a relic of the past, sign me up.

Replying to @UHC
@UHC thanks so much for denying my MRI that 2 separate orthopedic specialists recommended. I’ve been in excruciating pain since 2/12. It starts where my shoulder blade meets my back and I have rididculopathy all down my arm. Muscle spasms in my neck too. All on my dominant arm1/2

@UHC how much longer do you expect me to be in pain? I’ve tried a steroid course, 2 different muscle relaxants, heat, massage, NSAIDs. Your “nurse” recommended #Chiropractic care instead. As a nurse myself for 15 years, I can tell you Chiropractic care is not evidence based.

So proud of the work we did to get this legislation passed! Our hard work made a difference in improving the health of our state!

Where did the judges find 0.125 in deductions in Sierra Ballard’s floor routine? #Gymternet

My Mirena is the ONLY reason I don’t have to miss work 1-2 days each month. As a teenager, I was a straight A student, but missed school every single month because of pain!
We’ve been suffering through our menstrual cycles since the dawn of fucking time. The point is - WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO “HANDLE” PAINFUL AND DEBILITATING PERIODS. Ffs. Suffering isn’t a virtue. You’re not better than someone because you put up with pain.

Listening to @bridgetsloan interviewing @kathyjohnsongym for her flipping out podcast. Gymnastics royalty. I didn’t think it was possible, but I love them both even more now than before! Both such classy, complimentary, grateful women! They’re amazing!

Today is Thomas and Jude's birthday. T turned 10, but Jude is forever 2 because of a flu B outbreak in their sister's kindergarten class in 2016. This will never get better. Please take steps to protect yourselves and others. Happy birthday, boys.❤️ #ForJudeForEveryone #FluShot
Today is Thomas and Jude's birthday. T is turning 4, but Jude isn't. He died on May 6/16 from flu B. He was a perfectly healthy two-year-old. Today I get to spoil T when he's home from school, but I'll never get to hug Jude again. Let me tell you about him. /1 #forjudeforeveryone

Some Philadelphia #measles exposures were because a sick child attended daycare, Dec. 20-21. I'm wondering if the parent had no day-care alternative & feared job loss. Effective quarantine orders would include job protection and wage compensation.

An infant arrives at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia with a fever. Two days later, while hospitalized, develops a rash. It’s measles. An unvaccinated family is in the next room. The child and parent get sick. How a cluster starts —> inquirer.com/health/philadel…

Today is the 4th day of 2024. Perry High School is already the second school shooting in 2024. Gun violence is a public health crisis.

One of the best things you can do for patient safety: Be approachable so nurses feel comfortable asking questions and expressing concerns.

Totally crying watching @Simone_Biles get her gold medal with @USAGym! She is such an amazing advocate for so many tunings!
