Observation Mode

Went in for my latest doctor’s appointment and the good news is that my more urgent medical issues may have resolved themselves on their own.

The doctor’s optimistic. She put me in observation mode to see whether my trip to the ER sorted out the worst of it. If I feel better then surgery won’t be necessary in the emergency sense, but will remain an option in the quality of life sense.

I'm heavily leaning towards surgery. I’ve not been up to much since my trip to the ER as I’ve not felt good at all. But I’ve been instructed to give it time so I’m giving it time.

My parents are now deciding if they want to come for the holidays after all or wait to see how things progress. I await their decision.

It’s hard to plan around all of these unknowns but I’ve been trying to make peace with uncertainty. I’m still a long way from flourishing in it, but baby steps.

To that end, I’m hopeful I can get back to writing soon. I would really like to put something out by the end of the year so fingers crossed.

My next goal is to get back to my morning writing routine. Once I can get back into the rhythm of creating I'll feel much better.

Onwards. ☕🍂
