I Booked It Before Panic Won

Dear Delyara, The appointment. The test. The thing I knew I needed to do before fear could gather enough respectable-sounding reasons to turn delay into caution. I booked it. That is the version of health courage I trust now. Action before certainty. Action before denial. Action while still a little shaky. I have lived too many years waiting for my body to become dramatic enough to deserve serious attention. I’m trying to stop doing that. This week, I did.
