Hello friends, This is my first blog, and I'm not real familiar with the format. I mean, what's appropriate to talk about, mostly. House would be a good place to start. When I was around 13, I had bone fusion surgery on my right ankle, they took bone out of my hip and fused the tiny bones between the ankle joint and the toes. As a result, I can move my ankle up and down, but not left to right. My knee mobility makes up for it, and it's not an obvious condition. But... here's the House connection. I no longer trust doctors. Well, not a single doctor's diagnosis. And I'm in chronic pain, which is just a part of life. It's not like what House has to go through, but enough to make you curse from time to time. And I've been known to have a dark, ascerbic wit, so I appreciate The Man all the more. But I'm not all doom and gloom. I do appreciate what life has given me, and hopefully all of us can do the same. My first official blog! I don't know what's next. Maybe an observation on whiskers.
