To kill time I binge-watched all 8 seasons of House on netflix. That show basically looks life, death, pain, sickness, grief, mental illness, addiction, lost love, anything else you can think of straight in the face and just puts it out there and really makes you think about how you would deal with that kind of stuff. Wilson was my absolute favorite. His and House’s friendship is the kind that’s excruciatingly hard to find and towards the end of the series House pretty much implied that he is nothing without Wilson. In one of the last episodes he goes on this epic tirade where he screams things like “LIFE IS PAIN!!! EVERY DAY I WAKE UP IN PAIN, I GO TO WORK IN PAIN, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING UP??!! HOW MANY TIMES I WANTED TO END IT??!!” He suffered physically and mentally and seemed to be the most bitter person in the universe, but whenever he was with Wilson he was just fine. They really give meaning to the term bromance. A lot of us probably wish we had a friend like that. That show has just left me in tears and I think I’m actually going through the stages of grief… its so weird. I need to just quit right now and end it before any real-life tragedies befall me. I don’t think I could take it.

I loved House from the first time I saw it when it was a new show. I have a lot in common with the “House” character – living with 24/7 pain and the meds that go with it. I’m not addicted to the meds, but I am dependent – it’s pretty much excruciating to do anything without them. Problem is, in the US, you are automatically considered and addict and put under a microscope just trying to get them – I get looked at like a junkie and a criminal out of control addict … I have to be extremely cognizant of every little motion and word I make or speak for fear that someone will mistake it for “drug seeking behavior”.
The unrelenting physical pain is a large reason why I came here a few years ago … but I keep plugging along 😉
Thanks Obama 😀
