Day Four

No food.

Still arguing thresholds, not starved enough yet for admission.

Care reduced to criteria.

Life can’t be planned.

I get angry. It’s the wrong reaction, but a predictable one.

This illness is insidious.

It removes people from reality and cannot be reasoned with.

Time sits still, waiting….

Recovery or Death ?

Suspended inside the illness.

Blessed for the strength that keeps moving me forward, alone.

No perfect advice. No easy answers. Just the parts nobody talks about. Messy, funny, lonely, and oddly beautiful. If you are the one holding everything together. Welcome to the Back Row!
