Katty Kay Illness

In early 2017, Kay was diagnosed with bronchitis, and she wrote an article about how she felt guilty about being sick. Speaking about her illness, she said that getting out of bed to refill her water glass requires more physical effort than she usually puts in over the course of a week. Her bed has vanished beneath a heap of filthy used tissues. She is repulsive in appearance, feeling, and sound. She despises herself, her doctor has diagnosed her with bronchitis, flu, and bronchitis, or flu and infection. In comparison to how she feels, that sounds mild. And she will admit that she was hoping for a more dramatic diagnosis if only to absolve herself of her guilt. This week, she should be at work. Tillerson is being cross-examined. Obama is in tears.
