51: "You look better"

I recorded something a bit personal this week. Some friends visited recently and reminded me that I’ve made progress this year. I have a little bit more energy, capacity, and can do things I genuinely couldn’t have done twelve months ago.

But there’s a tension there, isn’t there? As soon as we say “I’ve improved,” people hear “I’m getting better and it’s never that simple.

If you’re living with Long Covid or any chronic condition, you’ll get this one. ”

Hope it helps someone feel a little less alone today.
