One early morning- 2:00 am - I found myself sitting on an emergency room table after passing out in the company of friends. What I was doing- or had been doing- is not important right now. I will deal with that in time. But I was sitting on this table as doctors and nurses in turn bought me bad news: enlarged heart, high blood pressure, kidney failure, and on and on. I was lucky to be alive. How did I get to this place? Why was I living this alien life? I was told by a doctor I wouldn't be going anywhere anytime soon...
