Hannah! Your mention of Sufjan Stevens at the start is apt because he is IN THE HOSPITAL, and will be for a good while! (He has Guillain-Barré, and wrote eloquently about this on Instagram.) Sufjan in the hospital might not herald the entry of overarching pop culture into the hospital, but there's a sense of solidarity, no? <3

I had no idea!! Wow. Massive sense of solidarity, I must go read his post.

A guy from Covenant who I knew from a distance ended up with Guillain-Barré, the first time I had ever heard of it, and I remember reading all about it. So so strange and difficult, a lot like what my mom has been through in the past year. Wow.
