After two long weeks of writing, re-writing, editing, and considering the upshot of such a post, I finally produced this piece. I don't really know what I was so worried about. I have never been afraid of anything I have published before, but perhaps it's because I have never really put a piece out there that could so directly offend a group of my fellow Chronically Awesome patients before. I do believe that anything worth feeling this strongly about is a feeling worth writing about. It's been awhile since I really wrote about something in this way. So, I give you:
