Ebbs and flows

Anxious patient. Slow.Long case flows.Difficult tumor–What is too much? Too morbid?“We trust you” … to go slow.Decisions made. No going back.The mind is done. It rushes. Repeating, reflecting, replaying.Home again. Be present. Go slow.Sudden thoughts of tomorrow. Mind rushes.Sleep—the battle won between ebb and flow.
