Lately I have been daring to imagine my life after the recon is over. I have my survivorship appointment on the 29th. My oncology appointments will get farther apart. I'm anxious to plan for the future. Sometimes I want to stay in Michigan. Sometimes I want to move west. Salida, maybe. I have lost the input of two people who always helped me make decisions. It's not good to push people away but it's easy for them to go if they don't care and probably a relief.
"So what I'm trying to say is that you should text me back.
Because there's a precedent. Because there's an urgency.
Because there's a bedtime.
Because when the world ends I might not have my phone charged and if you don't respond soon, I won't know if you'd wanna leave your shadow next to mine."
