On Monday, January 4th, my husband and I will get up early to drive the three and a half hours to Ann Arbor for my first appointment with a cardiologist who specializes in Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD). As the day looms closer, I’m getting anxious. This is much like my feelings about the new year. I know I’m not alone in this. I will be using January 2021 prompts from A Chronic Voice: Beginning, Symbolizing, Enduring and Revealing to capture my hopes and angst for this coming new year.
