Bizarro Patient Zero

Kelli Dunham is a hero, artist, nurse and all-around fabulous person.

Her newest web venture is practical and heart-breaking at the same time.  Which sounds like an odd description, but it seems to fit.

I’m horrible at asking for help, but one thing I’ve learned is that people want to help.  If anything, people feel helpless and allowing them to help is a gift.  I’ve gotten way better about assigning people stuff to do, depending on what I need and what people around me need.

For example, I’ve assigned friends to look out for the Badger, my long-suffering boyfriend who, left unchecked, will stare at me for six hours and pretend not to stare at me for two more.  I’m assured he will dragged from the hospital and be fed burgers and beer while I’m cheerfully hacking override codes into my morphine pump and throwing hospital jello against the walls.

Anyway,  This just turned up on my radar a few nanoseconds ago and I wanted to get it out there.
