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.
