It's been a while...
Loops are running consistently. The reflux has settled down, but I have been dealing with some upper respiratory congestion for over a week now.
I've had some quiet realizations over the last few weeks. One is that I have found firmer ground to forgive myself for the errors I made in my early adulthood. I see that I was trying to do what is right, especially after I had made some mistakes, but that I wasn't equipped for it. Family of origin, community of origin, culture of origin; all failed to equip me for adulthood. I'm still responsible for the choices I made, but I was fighting with one foot in a bucket of cement.
The other is a deep thankfulness for the family that I have now. I'll leave out details for the sake of privacy, but I was struck with an even deeper thankfulness for them than normal.
Yeah. EHPRA gets it done.
