Kimberly stole my thoughts - the heaviness and the lightness contrasting in this - oof. Beautiful.

So moving Lia. I can feel the weight and weightlessness in your words, the inevitable, unending tension of a body tethered to chronic illness. Your words reach outwards and then back onwards to cradle your experience.

And that cross stitch is superb too. I experience paresthesia on my tongue too, feels exactly as you’ve stitched it!

Thank you so much, Kimberly. I’m always surprised by how many people say my symptomatology embroideries illustrate their symptoms too. Tongue paresthesia was such a disconcerting experience at first but now it’s an early warning system for me.
