@mikecane I can manage the lingo just fine. And, I've had time this past year to research. They haven't. I correct them! (they love that).
From now on I will ask my medical assholes to please refer to me as Dr. Holzschlag. Why not? Might be an interesting experiment.

Mentoring: long list, it may go slow, but it is what it is. Two up for next week: @scatteredbrainV and @tasselflower DM for scheduling. :)

@JamesSLock not a thing. I would love to get some, but it isn't an option with chemo. So I'm starting to use temp ones. Yay for solutions!

I didn't shave my head or hang out with the homeless (this time 'round) but I did get my skulls and death masks on.

My life is really sucking hard right now. I sit here wondering what egregious acts I have committed to have receive such karmic wrath.

And today's hit: I'm seriously anemic. I shoot myself up with epo. If no improvement, I'll be pulled off the medicines that are saving me.

@facej Bless you! 6mg of Ativan, 100mg of Ultram, 900mg of Neurontin and 3grams of Medical Marijuana haven't done the trick. Benadryl FTW!

Gonna shave my head, tattoo myself with skulls and skeletons and death masks, roll a big fat spliff, hang with the homeless and wait to die.

Pile it on universe. I can't even pretend to tempt the fates anymore. They just have their way with me every day, every hour I get kicked.

I want to work and earn my own way. That's not an option now, and may never be an option again. I feel really down. It feels like failure.

Every time we raise funds to keep me in "the best" medical care and in this home threatens those welfare funds. I don't know what to do.

The kind folks who did fundraising on my behalf last year want to do that again. I want that too, but I can't live off of community forever.

Wish me luck with @IRS - this may break me. If it does, I end up on welfare with funding under the poverty level and medicaid. IOW: dead.

@misterfluff None taken no apologies just reaction/response/repair. Caregiving is hell and I wish it on no one. Patients are an angry bunch.

@misterfluff "Life is Good" is not a conceivable thought for me. So maybe it's just a language thing. "I want your life to be good" is kind.

@misterfluff Otherwise, despite your kind intent, it is an insult to tell a very sick person who tries to find good in every day and can't.

@misterfluff Have you been through 35 years of disease and medical abuse and neglect yourself? If you have, I'll take your words to heart.
