Oh Chris. I am feeling alongside you and Jake. Feeling the horror and frustration at hospitals. And the wild logic of this injury that makes me want to howl for you with unfairness. How you managed to craft suh a beautiful reflection in the midst of everything is astounding. Sending so so much love ❤️‍🩹

Your way of telling is gold. A laser sharp articulation from the edge and the in-between, a dry heave, a slow/fast gasp and attempt to grasp the great wave that weaves us all together. I had a boyfriend fall 30 feet off a ladder that stood on an unsecured scaffolding years ago. Broke both wrists and cut up his legs. A long and winding road ensued... but the worst of it blossomed into the best period in our relationship and a major, ultimately positive, transformative touchstone.

There may not have been open windows in the hospital, but you have opened windows with your words. The air is fresh in here. Thank you for sharing. Best to you and yours as you all lick your paws.
