Weekdays and Saturday mornings
“Hello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. I remember crying in the parking lot before going in like it was yesterday. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.”
“Dear stranger, i was where you are a year and a half ago. Learning to flush a PICC line. That was my life. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do.”
“I'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason, it doesn't. But you can get through it, I did, and I'm not especially strong and someone told me to do one small thing a day, some days it's just a shower.”
“Reading this late at night? I've been there. Two years ago, that was me. Arguing with the insurance about a scan. That was my life. I can talk about it now without falling apart. It comes back slowly, like feeling in your fingers after the cold. Keep going, even slowly.”
