"I got home pretty drunk, and I don't remember typing it up really," she told BuzzFeed in an interview. "I just woke up to someone DM'ing me a Reddit post asking if it was me, and I was like damn, I guess it is."
Lauren lost her arm in a moped accident, she told BuzzFeed, and has used social media to help cope with her disability.
"I was going pretty fast on a moped and lost control of it, and I hit the median in the road. I flew off and hit a sign and it sliced my arm off. I stayed conscious the whole time."
Her life was thankfully saved by a quick thinking police officer who had just received tourniquet training.
"I remember I asked the cop, ‘Hey, am I gonna die?’ and he said, ‘No, you’ll be fine.'"
Poking fun of herself on social media has been a coping mechanism following the injury.
"For a while, I wasn’t okay with the jokes," said Lauren. "But then I started telling the jokes, and it’s kind of helped."
Just look at the stuff she posts.
