dear everyone,
thanks for the kind words, yall are sweethearts. Judy, you've got to give me your pedicurist's name! hook it up, girl, i want a unicorn too (how does she do that?).
Kazoo, loved the poem. now if only i could find some one to PULL my toes...ahhhh...
Shelli, your post made me laugh. I really did get lucky with the hospital, though. They fed me xanax 3 times a day, lit my cigarettes for me, and offered me a vegetarian option in the cafeteria. A lot of the people on the ward, about a dozen of them, seemed to have much more serious problems than mine--heroin addiction, homocidal feelings, very hardcore alcoholism, schizophrenia...they brought the caretaker out in me. I scarcely knew one existed prior to that. My social anxiety melted away and I spoke with everyone at length (of course, all the pills the nurses tossed down my gullet may have played a part in that.) We shared cigarettes, books, and gum, exchanged e-mail addresses...it was a relief to see people openly being vulnerable. I just needed that for awhile. (and i dug being taken care of.)
"Creates adventure..." hee hee...how 'bout creates psychodrama? or both, we'll compromise.
much love & respect,
sar
