An open letter to my physical vessel

Dear vessel - in just a few short days, a foreign object will be inserted under our skin to receive a foreign chemical through our veins. I pray that you accept these items, as they are both extremely necessary to remove the intruder that has attempted to hold you hostage. Over the upcoming months, I’m aware that there will be various changes to you, including loss of hair, sensitivity of skin, nausea, loss of appetite, among others. I promise to be patient with you and to treat you tenderly. I hope that my active and healthy lifestyle will assist you during this journey and during the recovery stages as well. I appreciate your endurance over the years, and I look forward to seeing your renewed state once we’ve completed this journey.

Wishing you well,

Tova

p.s. I hope you enjoyed the spa treatment today. It’s the least I can do to thank you in advance for riding with me during this journey.
