Dear Mari
This summary really helps me understand things more from your perspective.
I appreciate that.
It sounds like you are really doing the best you can. remember this process will taper down, and will stop draining you so.
As for priorities, follow your needs and instincts right now. It sounds like your body is telling you a lot of things.
Whether mask comes in before then or not, I hope that your accupuncturist visit on Saturday will be helpful.
