The only emoji that Substack allows is the heart...and reading this tears at mine, Vanessa. I've had full-on, emergency room "is she going to make it" anaphylaxis once and a lesser version another time. I know the terror. And I in NO way experienced what you went through. The only good news is that you appear--finally--to have answers about the source of your trauma. And I hope competent medical professionals who you trust. One step at a time. First, take care of Vanessa. Then think about Shift the Country. I know--easier said than done when you have poured your all into it and were just on the cusp of the launch you envisioned. But please--heed my words--take care of yourself.
Evelyn, thank you so, so much. What a powerful comment. I'm so deeply touched. This has really been something, honestly. I'm sorry you've been through anaphylaxis, too. It really is something. Be very well and talk with you soon. -Vanessa
