That can be true! Sometimes I come into it with a really good structure and it all snaps together well. But sometimes I am figuring it out as I write (what I expect from my technical papers) and in that case it really is more like the gesso on the canvas.

She had temporary appetite stimulant and pain medication but otherwise will just be on kidney friendly prescription meds and whatever else is recommended when we go back in for a 10 day checkup.

It was very unclear if she was going to make it for a few days there. We still don’t really know what triggered it all, but I’m really glad she’s doing better.
