Rant0/10 stars: a review of my recent three-week hospital stay.
Unruly blood pressure, dramatic sinuses, and a checkout that kept getting rescheduled.
TRUE STORY A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE. A LOT OF PERSONALITY.
Patiently.
Unhinged.
Good words. Questionable composure.
Essays, stories, and the occasional well-earned rant.
For anyone holding it together. Ish.

01 / THE BLOGA little longer.
02 / THE RANT ROOMShort fuse.
03 / BEHIND THE WORDSWhat's all
A little longer.
A little deeper.
Essays and stories with something
to say. And a few things to question.
Short fuse.
Shorter reads.
Bite-sized observations.
Occasionally excessive punctuation.
What's all
this, then?
A name, a point of view,
and room to figure out the rest.
FRESH FROM THE OVERTHINKING DEPARTMENT
All the words The latest & loudest.
Rant
RantThe referral olympics: a sport nobody trained for.
First your insurance, then your patience, then your will to fax.
RantThe waiting room is a time warp. Nobody warned me.
Time enters. Time does not exit. Science is baffled.
Anything labeled TRUE STORY really happened. The rest is just the voice, on a normal day.
FRESH FROM AN ACTUAL HOSPITAL BED
0/10. Would not book again.
“There are approximately 900 bajillion ways to lower blood pressure and about two and a half ways to raise it. Naturally, my body chose the complicated option.”— Jenni, from bed, day 18-ishRead the whole rant
A true story, published with its protagonist’s blessing. No hospitals were named. No mercy was shown.
