Appearances
The one advantage that they had over most of you is wisdom, because they had a long life.
And I needed that wisdom at that moment in my life.
But imagine what it was like for them when I showed up at their doorstep.
At that point, I had gained four pounds, so I was 68 pounds.
I was bald, wearing hospital scrubs, and I had a white cane in one hand and a suitcase full of medical records in another hand, and the senior citizens realized that they needed to have an emergency meeting.
So they pulled back, and they were looking at each other, and they were going, okay, what skills do we have in this room?
This kid needs a lot of work.
They eventually started matching their talents and skills to all of my needs.
But one of the first things they needed to do was assess what I needed right away, which I needed to figure out how to eat like a normal human being since I'd been eating through a tube in my chest and then through my veins.
And then they had to figure out, well, she needs furniture.
So they went to their storage lockers and all gathered their extra furniture, gave me pots and pans, blankets, everything.
The next thing that I needed was a makeover.
So out went the green scrubs and in came the polyester and floral prints.
LAUGHTER
We're not going to talk about the hairstyles that they tried to force on me once my hair grew back.
But I did say no to the blue hair.
So eventually, they decided that, well, I need to learn to speak.
And I had to learn how to coordinate my new throat with my tongue and my new teeth and my lips.
And I was an adult, and it was embarrassing.
So I acted like a two-year-old and refused to work.
