Reminded of with your story of your journey: my small good thing is that I’ve officially gone a week without a recurring episode of a weird health thing I’ve been dealing with this month, which could very well be a new, yet-to-be-diagnosed chronic condition, but for now is under control. No ER for me this week! Lovely passage you shared on how treasured simple pleasures in the body can be, especially when sometimes it feels like the body has it out for you.
I am so, so glad for you, Bree. I can understand how frustrating it is—the pre-diagnosis, mid-'Body, Something Is Wrong' stage—and am sending all my best, along with hopes for excellent painkillers and a good blanket. And cheers to no ER! That kind of hard-won small gentleness: a treasure.
