I didn’t realize how much energy mundane tasks took. I thought I was a badass and didn’t need tools to help with recovery. If/when I have another, I will definitely treat myself much kinder. Time off work, many soft blankets, and kind kind kind words to myself.

Good words.
Dude. I’m 20 years late to med school, so one year late feels refreshing!

What would you add?
