I'm getting well when doctors claim that can't be done. In the process, I've avoided an estimated $9.5 million dollars in medical expenses.

I've gotten myself off the street and back into housing without going through some kind of homeless program.

Because I already do remote work to accommodate my medical handicap, lock down during the pandemic only lightly impacted my life. It was mostly business as usual for me, even though I'm a dirt poor writer, not a well-heeled programmer.

I'm reasonably satisfied with the results I'm getting, though I'm currently broke and don't know where my next dollar is coming from and that aspect of my life continues to aggravate the fool out of me.
