You cannot get sick
So now a date was on the books and that meant that I could not get sick. If I was being careful before, I was being super careful now. I was on serious lockdown. If I were to get sick, we would have to cancel and reschedule the surgery that wasn’t easy to get on the calendar in the first place. I was treating my body like a freaking temple (something I probably should have been doing all along). I was meditating, taking immunity-boosting supplements, aiming for nine hours of sleep a night (or ten!). The specimen (that’s me) needed to remain in pristine condition. Nothing could interfere with my surgery.
