BarbaraTheBibliophage @Suet624 I'm sorry we are in the same club. Litsy is yay! Lyme is yuck! 💚 8y
Suet624 @BarbaraTheBibliophage Agreed. At least when I can't get off the couch I can read. And at this point I actually remember what I've read. 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Suet624 There were definitely many times that I'd read the same sentence over and over, while comprehending nothing. Happy to be back in the reading world again! 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @TwinklingBooks I'm sorry to hear you're raving long term illness too. I found this book recently, and have been pleasantly surprised at the authors' wisdom. I am so grateful for books in my life! 8y
TwinklingBooks @BarbaraTheBibliophage me too! Books and my cats keep me sane. And it keeps happening to me too when you read same sentence but nothing registers. 8y
Desha Thank you for posting about this book! I have a chronic lung disease called bronchiectasis and I'm on disability retirement from teaching because of it. It's taken me a loooong time to gain even a modicum of acceptance of he ways my life hasx 8y
Desha been changed. It's a daily struggle/slog through the difficulties lol😜. When I'm not crying I have to laugh at the absurdness of it all! Thanks for sending out some encouragement! ☺️ 8y
Desha And yes...dogs and books are THE best! Yay for Litsy! ❤️📚📚❤️ 8y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Desha There are a lot of us here facing chronic illness, so you're not alone and you're among friends. I wasn't sure what to expect about this book and truly feel it's a gem. Hope it helps you! Another good one from an author with pulmonary hypertension is![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
