Quick things: My knee is worse than I thought. Basically am trying to stay homebound at this point to get it to heal. Spent 40 minutes in the car today (over the course of three hours) which made it much worse. As a result, no pumpkin patch visit tomorrow. I apologize to those who were [...]

One doctor will say I'm doomed, and send me to another for treatment, but the treating doctor will find nothing within his or her area of practice that can be treated.
My life is better than a comedy, better than a drama. Anyone who has done this knows what I mean when I say that you have to not only know the rules, but also play the part in order to be allowed in the game. Most people find what we go through in the medical merry-go-round to be unbelievable, which is why I call it "The Drag of Gimp."
