Cat HicksFour thousand people have read this piece I wrote about surviving the scariest health crisis of my life & what it feels like to keep reaching out for love when all the systems around us rocket towards unmeasured & unheard damage.
I'm so incredibly moved by the messages from my brave fellow travelers -- folks with long covid yes but folks with MS, cancer, a hundred others, folks who know the complexity of our bodies & ourselves. It has been comfort beyond words.
Covid Data Log
Note: For me, 2023 was defined by battling through and recovering from severe and life-threatening illness. Am I better now? Idk. Far better than I was. Far luckier than many. I don't think anyone knows if the millions of people with post covid and/or long covid trajectories are "ok." I debated long and hard about sharing this piece. But I was inspired by Giorgia Lupi's incredible piece on her experience. I'm not an artist or a designer, but I have this -- writing has always been one of the way
