My wish for everyone in the #chronicillness community! ❤️🙏
A photograph of a tree in a massive forest. The tree is barren without leaves on the top and the trunk broken off, and one branch is growing another tree from the broken tree complete with fresh green leaves and branches of its own! A beautiful sight. Amazing mother nature. #miracles

Haven't picked up my snail mail since ER at Xmas. Decided to try again last night. Walked ~30 feet to my mailbox. Almost didn't make it back to my apartment. Felt like I suddenly had no legs/was going to collapse/faint. It's obviously more than #longCovid #Dyspnea #ESKD 🤷‍♀️ Had to rest after that. 😟

Although my brain fog is due to #longCovid, I am feeling more creative these days after 5+ yrs with 3 #chronicillnesses. Wonder if that's because I'm no longer physically able to work 12-18 hour days like I used to. 🤔 I had no choice as a sole-income mom of 3 children at the time.
