I. Today has been what I guess I would consider to be a shitty day. Dragged my ass out of bed in the freezing cold morning to hop into the cold shower – chatter chatter; why do I bother trying to shave when I have goosebumps from the cold in the process of shaving? Pointless. [...]

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."
