Well, I’m back from Florida, wishing in some ways that I hadn’t left. Damn, it’s cold up here in the mid-Atlantic region, and the 80s on the water at Palm Beach was like heaven. Got to see the mini-sprog and finally meet her biological mom, who commented that the kid and I look like sisters [...]

Since 1996, my life has been a long journey of visiting one doctor after another. I look more or less fine, but I'm not. My daily pill count is like playing the dozens with a hospice patient. 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."
