The Crew Chief

Of Men & Maladies Chapter 2: Wander Lust The Crew Chief We ate, we drank, we smoked and we fucked until we finally fell asleep just before Dawn. The ringing phone woke us mid-morning. As Cage reached for his phone by the bed, we both groaned “ah fuck‚” in anticipation of a Drill. Instead, Cage handed the phone to me. “Hello?” I said, expecting my Unit Commander on the other end. “Ona‚” said the voice, it was Brian. “You need to get out of there, David is looking for you.” ”Impossible,” I replied, “David is on Deployment, he’s out for another week.” ”David’s been calling the 33rd all morning looking for you.” he said. “One of the Weapons Techs from the 19th is out looking for your car right now.” “My car is parked at Leo’s place, no one is going to find me here,” I replied. I thanked Brian for the warning and hung up the phone. It was Cage’s idea I park the car at Leo’s Trailer several rows over from his own. It created a visual to support pla

Knowing Mark

Mark Wants a Chapter. He wants to be acknowledged as one of the Men who experienced the Maladies. There are many reasons why only specific Men made it into the Published Memoir : they were the Men who experienced the Blood, Shit, Anxiety, & Pain of Stage 4 Aggressive Recurring Abdominal, Colorectal, & Pulmonary #Endometriosis up close and personal.

Of Men & Maladies: A Lifetime of Endometriosis

Of Men & Maladies: A Lifetime of Endometriosis Available on Kindle & Amazon “This memoir is the result of my accepting the extraordinary effect that endometriosis has had on my life, including how it touched and affected my intimate relationships with men. The crossroads of endometriosis, intimate relationships, sexual intimacy, and independence have been dominated by the disease. Endometriosis has dictated my life, from my couplings, to my marriages, and even into my ability to generate financial income. Through my own personal research, and with the advent of Social Media, I have found Endometriosis symptoms and treatments of the body have become purposefully disconnected from my life. From lack of access to medical care, to pharmaceutical greed, the life experience of a woman with Endometriosis is filled with medical care blocked by Bureaucracy, symptoms denied or ignored, and accusations of drug addiction. . The more I research, the more I find a stagnant
