I woke up this morning, restless. Billy and I are in the midst of a household purge. I ended up in the attic, sorting remnants of being so ill and broken for so long. My walker. My bath chair. An entire bag of syringes. Though my limbs give me daily reminders, I’m glad to finally say good riddance!
