You are a teal trooper! I’m so sorry for all you have been through but you are a true inspiration to me.

The long litany of wound care on top of colitis is overwhelming to read in one contiguous post. To say this is captured so thoroughly and so beautifully written seems a disservice to all you’ve endured Leah. There’s just nothing beautiful here. But there is resilience and bravery and truth through all nine acts of care and through good and bad caregivers. I believe you are on the path of complete recovery. Thank you for chronicling all of this medical intervention that I learn so much from, reminding me in the most profound way we are not alone in our struggles to be well.💙

Everything Betty Littrell said so eloquently, plus this: What struck me in your nine acts and inserted stories was the dozens of medical terms and pharmaceutical names you’ve mastered as part of your everyday life. That speaks volumes about what you’ve endured. Nobody outside medical specialties wants to know all that; my heart is filled with compassion and my eyes with tears that it’s all in your vocabulary.
