Wait.

Wait.

Nobody talks about how much of being disabled and chronically ill is waiting:

Wait for the appointment.

Wait for the next.

Wait for the medications to work.

Wait for results.

Wait for diagnosis.

Wait to get better.

We wait.

And we wait some more.

While we wait,

The world is ever-changing and going.

But we must wait to join in.

Wait for our turn.

But how long do we wait?

How long is spent in antici………pation

And what is waiting for us?
