I understand that upsets you and makes you worry more. Have you tried calling instead of messaging? Sometimes a voice is harder to ignore than a message that works it way out of your sightline.

Disagree. My time and energy are my time and energy. I choose how and when to use them. Sometimes it takes me a week to respond to friends if they’re just checking in (never to anything urgent of course) and my good friends know they’ll hear from me when time/energy allows. I know and expect the same of them.

I recently had 2nd knee surgery and surgeon said arnica gel was showing good results on speeding healing. I used it and def seemed to make bruise yellow earlier than my 1st surgery when I didn’t use it.
