Thanks @belmont_starbucks for letting me hangout for the majority of the day with you. I even got to see one of my favorite baristas before I left- @silas.girt although I don’t think they saw me. Thanks for the reminder of what coffee & camaraderie can look like. (at Starbucks) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn0eSa3tuYqWMm_XEAdahpXZfQiS7tlkiB60ZY0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I know it’s been a minute, but thank you @hermitagesbux for still providing smiles & great coffee even though I know that your work has become more stressful as of late. You’re still my favorite place. #bestStarbucksEVER (at Starbucks) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnu6kiivNJa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Thanks @hermitagesbux for the great surprise #customeroftheweek but you are all the rock stars here— no matter how constantly busy it is, you still serve up drinks & smiles regularly.

Guess I should share I ate breakfast with Santa, went to space & then ended up in Italy at the Sistine Chapel #carlowuniversity #carlowalumni #moonshotmuseum #sistinechapel (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CluZAghpUl-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m excited to share I have a poem published in the Fall 2022 issue of Intima: A Journal of Narrative Medicine https://www.theintima.org/worst-shift-dana-reeher https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck_HHSuL4WD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#seethesigns @beyondtype1 I had 3 signs: excessive thirst, frequent urination (including wetting the bed), fruity breath; I believe there may have been others as well, such as blurry or double vision but those were the big ones. It was 1989 & I was 5 years old (going on 6) & my parents didn’t know there was something wrong. I was fortunate to have needed a physical to start kindergarten & he noticed something wasn’t right & checked my urine which was full of glucose & ketones. After that, I was in the hospital, being treated for DKA & learning about Type 1 diabetes. #worlddiabetesday https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck65TylNeGH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
