Totally see how/why people head to the streets or other places and countries for medical care!!!

I keep post it notes taped to my water bottle. And have to keep post its and notes everywhere. Thankfully all my coworkers and friends know if I need to be reminded it has to written down.

(I had a bad case of strep that made my symptoms significantly worse) I set a timer when I start a task to help keep me on track. Sorry you’re going through that. We’re here for you.
