Pardon me, while I live out a cliché. Remember that scene from Capra’s It’s A Wonderful Life, where the whole community gathers around James Stewart to provide him with pocket change–pocket change that ends up adding up to the much needed sum of $8,000 that will save Stewart and his family from falling into the [...]

I’m quaking in my monster stompy boots. I don’t know why I’ve been doing what I’ve been doing, which is living with my boyfriend of four months while I wait for my apartment, but falling into bed with other people at almost every chance I get.

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."
