   I’m starting to recover from my series of multiple respiratory infections. I would say I am 50% better: no nosebleeds or pinkeye, fever down, but still the cough is so bad I must avoid talking.
   
   During this nightmare illness(es) I wrote notes to my future self to remember I am immunocompromised and take it seriously. As I feel better I notice I want to forget the whole thing and just act normal again. Sick me begs and pleads for healthy me to mask up and avoid exposure; healthy me doesn’t know what sick me is talking about, I’m fine.
   
   It reminds me of “Severance,” having two states of mind so disconnected they might as well be different selves.
