:23:00
I am learning to suffer.
:23:04
Yes, it is mildly uncomfortable
to have an electrocardiogram, but...
:23:09
the agony of a colonoscopy
sweeps it from memory.
:23:15
Yes, it was embarrassing
to have to wear a nightgown all day long.
:23:19
Two nightgowns.
:23:21
But that seemed like a positive privilege
compared to watching myself go bald.
:23:27
Yes, having a former student
give me a pelvic exam...
:23:31
was thoroughly...
:23:34
degrading.
:23:36
And I use the term deliberately.
:23:39
But...
:23:41
I could not have imagined
the depths of humiliation...
:24:02
Oh, God.
:24:04
Please...
:24:11
Steady.
:24:14
Steady.
:24:16
Oh, God.
:24:28
What's left?
:24:32
I haven't eaten in two days.
:24:35
What's left to puke?
:24:48
You may remark that my vocabulary
has taken a turn for the Anglo-Saxon.
:24:55
God, I'm gonna barf my brains out.
