The Shackles of Time

Freeing my heart from the constraints of time, I recalibrate myself to the essence of Time.
When battling kidney disease, time takes on a peculiar cadence. Days may blend together, yet sometimes stretch out endlessly. I've reached a point where the conventional weekly schedule no longer suits me. Instead, I view my days and time as cycles.
At times, what might be a single ordinary day for everyone else feels like three days' worth of effort for me. Everyday tasks demand more energy than I'd prefer to give. When factoring in additional responsibilities, such as managing my own business and caring for a four-year-old, I've learned to spread tasks across several days, rather than attempting to tackle them all in one day.
The key lies in being patient with oneself. I used to push myself relentlessly, only to exhaust myself and inadvertently worsen my condition.
Indeed, patience is truly the key.
