I whole-heartedly agree with Deborah's comment below. I felt like I was in that doctor's office with you. I'm taking in her words. And yours.

This is an incredible piece. The way you balance such vivid, almost visceral detail with the emotional weight underneath it is striking. That final line landed hard. Really powerful writing!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Deborah! You’re officially my first non-obligatory comment—maybe I owe you a fruit basket.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate what you said about the balance and the ending—that means a lot, especially coming from someone who also writes about uncomfortable truths.
Cheers, my friend.
