| Time marched on. Pains and sores came and went. What came next? Oh, you're just gonna LOVE this one: When Jo Beth lowered her pants to urinate, she began sometimes to find little surprises awaiting her. That's right. There was you-know-what coming out of her body, and she wasn't even feeling it happen. Could it get more gross? One morning, Joe spotted a sizeable "deposit" sitting on the kitchen stairs. Jo Beth had walked downstairs after showering, and not even noticed a full load drop behind her. When she took a look under her robe, her backside was a smeary mess. That morning, she cried and cried. When Jo Beth told her lupus doctor about this new problem, he clearly believed it was due to her nutcase-ed-ness (based on his friend's feedback). Jo Beth liked her doctor, but right then, she had her first unpleasant thought about him. And he still wouldn't label her disabled. |
