Sometimes, I feel like the recovery days at the end of an illness are worse than the actual illness. People expect us to be full-force when we aren’t healed yet, and the performance they expect and require necessarily makes the effects of the illness linger even longer, often outstripping the time of the initial illness. All because we didn’t get the support we truly needed so that we could rest fully for another day.
I feel this often these days.
