The rant of sick.
This isn't a cry for help. This isn't the pit of despair. This isn't anything but what it is.
I can't take this any more. I'm ready to just die already. I'm sick of nausea. I'm sick of chemicals. I'm sick of odd fatigue. I'm sick of wondering every time I run out of breath if this is it, if it's back and the game's over. I'm sick of calling my doctor every week. I'm sick of waiting for surgery details that will never come. I'm sick of the drain. I'm sick of the exhaustion. I'm sick of the pain in my knees and back and feet. I'm sick of seeing what I've become when I look in the mirror. I'm sick of needing special treatment. I'm sick of needing, period.
When do you just say 'enough?' When is it noble to struggle and when is it noble to walk out onto the ice, sit and wait? When does nobility give way to pathos? To bathos?
I don't know. I just don't know.
Oh, and another freaking iPod's died on me. Just to add a little zeugma to this thing.

a good book
a cup of strong tea
a new doctor, or at least a new consultant on the surgery. I know of one (in my neck of the woods) that a mutal friend has been consulting with on a similar procedure. I can get contact info if you'd like.
In the mean time, I'd suggest calling apple and tell that Steve should get his denim covered ass in that plane they gave him and bring an you iPod that works and won't break in three weeks like the others have.
Be strong, mon ami

Re: Hmm...
Dr. Fleet's trying his best. As for the surgical consultants -- we're doing the top of the line, after backing away slowly from another choice. Said top of the line takes inconvenient time, however. And in the meantime, we wait by the mailbox, hoping. Hoping.
Thank you, sir. As always, thank you.
