It certainly sounds like you have touched all the bases regarding the persistent sub-acute infection which has plagued you for so long. [Ed.: Group B Strep] I have seen the truly awful results of anal-vaginal fistulea caused when women in rural Africa undergo days of labor because they can't get to the hospital. The instense pressures inside the pelvis can tear significant holes in that membrane. These women become recluses and pariahs. IN fact, there are hospitals in sub-Saharan Africa devotedly exclusively in to surgery to repair these horrendous injuries. As you might image, repair is complex and not always successful. Many women have to undergo two or three operations to finally close the defect. PBS did a stunning documentary on the subject a couple of years ago. [Ed.: He is mentioning fissues because I explained I had to go get an abdominal scan with dye to see if there were any rips in my intestines. Luckily prior to getting that exam, I and my doctor finally figured out why I've had recurrent GBS infections (they are extremely painful and rare). The bacteria was growing from an antibiotic that I had taken quite a few times. It was killing so much of the good bacteria in my system (I do take probiotics and eat yogurt) that it caused a horrible overgrowth of GBS.]
Yes, I know--Michael is always there with a cheery anedote or two...Just putting things in perspective.
By the way---part of my ability to "compartmentalize" is being able to realize that such awful things to not in anyway and should not in any way prevent a man and a woman who are emotionally close and who trust each other from engaging in deep, loving anal sex, especially the utter intimacy & orgasmic intensity (man and women) of anal sex in the missionary position.
I know, TMI. [Ed.: To reiterate, I've told him a billion times, no sex talk.]
Must get this in the mail--but still so much more to talk about. And I will--hope sooner than later. I really do enjoy writing to you, Kelly, even if I drive you half-crazy most of the time...
Just received "Mind Game", the fascinating letter from NZ from the New Yorker. Wow--full comments to follow.
AND your letter in which you relate your confrontation at the laundromat. My God, trouble just finds you sometimes, doesn't it?
So--scanning and very briefly:
>Brilliant discussion/rant re the rescinded job offer!
>I knew that the "Buried" review would bother you. Poor baby. You and I would be perfect in those situations.
> No, I've not seen "Young Prisoner's Handbook" but it just seemed liek a film you must see and tell me about!
> I will think seriously about how a sociopath woudl perceive the whole situation/court case you've described. You asked "How do you think he views me and what do you think he'll do?" I will consider that and I think I can give you a reasoned opinion. I believe there are multiple twists and turns, and that full understanding of a sociopath is nearly impossible without the full picture. And I understand your limitations.
Lots in this letter--and again, sorry it was so delayed. Hope my cash/stamp problem improves. Hope I filled your Brain Housing Group with enough stuff that you forget for a little while how much life SUCKS!!
Thinking of you, Kelly. Hang in there---write soon. And so will I.
Your friend,
Michael
"You know you love me. XOXO." The narrator is of course Kristen Bell. She ends each episode with those worlds.
P.S. KK tons more movie talk, but all this seemed more important.
