An OnlyFans model has proven just how dedicated she is to her numerous fans after continuing to take sexy snaps in her hospital gown while recovering from brain surgery.
Ruby May, from Sydney, Australia, had been experiencing frequent dizzy spells, which were followed by sharp pressure headaches that would last approximately 10 seconds every time.
After a visit to the doctors, the 25-year-old was diagnosed with Chiari malformation, a rare condition where a section of a person's skull is deformed, putting pressure on their spinal cord.
While recovering in hospital from her surgery, Ruby was determined to continue to work on her OnlyFans content - prompting fans to urge her to take a break.

Ruby, who boasts 421,000 Instagram followers on her account @famous4mypersonality), was admitted for surgery on March 4, and had five days of recovery time afterwards.
However, she still managed to take time to update fans from her hospital bed.
Explaining why she continued to work even after such a serious procedure, Ruby said: “I can never bring myself to stop working and I took nudes in the bed in my hospital gown the day after surgery.
"I think it’s funny because everyone thinks my life is so easy because of OnlyFans. Meanwhile, I’m having surgery – but luckily, it helped me pay for it".
The operation set Ruby back £11,200 ($20,000 AUD). The content creator underwent treatment at a private clinic, which she believed offered her the best chance of a smooth process. She now feels fortunate to be alive and feels the headaches were a "sign from the universe".
After receiving her diagnosis, Ruby was told that she would eventually become paralysed if she didn’t undergo the surgery.
Ruby explained: “I wouldn’t have thought anything of it [the headaches] but I had two friends who had brain surgery within the same year. I also heard of someone who had been diagnosed with brain cancer.
“I’m so glad I [got checked out] because I went for an MRI, where they found out what I had. [The surgery] was approximately three hours long and I was so nervous, because I’ve never had surgery or anaesthetic before. I had to have a catheter in for 24 hours and couldn’t lift my head properly for a while"
She continued: “It was really scary waking up in the ICU where I had to stay, as I was being checked on every hour to make sure I didn’t have any brain damage. I’ve been in a lot of pain but it’s all going to get better from here and I will hopefully not have any ongoing issues with it.
“It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to go through, but I’m so grateful I have my job with the money and flexibility to get through it. [My fans] were mostly concerned and I feel like we are very close – they’re like my friends.
“They loved the nudes but they told me I needed to take a break from working. It doesn’t feel like work when you love your job".
Ruby has since shared her experiences in an Instagram post, where she's clocked up nearly 3,000 likes at the time of writing.
One person wished her "a full and speedy recovery", while another wrote, "Really hope your feeling better soon beautiful lady".
