Illness changed the size of my life and I am still measuring the loss. I grieve the energy I used to spend without budgeting. My body keeps rewriting terms I never agreed to. There are dreams that did not die dramatically, just under fluorescent light at appointments. It is strange to be grateful and grieving at the same time for what remains. Chronic illness is grief in installments and nobody sends casseroles for installments.
