So the doctor’s office agrees: skip the blood work at this time and get it done later when things have evened out. I’m glad that they think I wasn’t overreacting, and I’m likewise sad that they agreed the concern was warranted. I don’t like the phrase “the new normal”. This isn’t our new normal, this is a transition period that may last for several months, but it is definitely not the new normal. There is no corner of the globe to escape to. Which means we will find a new balance – although I’ve no idea what it will look like.
