just...gah.
a lot of other readers have pro'ly described how they've been affected by the story. i'm not quite that eloquent. i can only describe it as that unique feeling you have, when having that first breath of air after being under water for a while.

Getting reaction from those who have read the piece as an almost finished whole is great. I'm glad that it moved you enough to comment. Thank you!

that and we need...for lack of a better word since im so tired i can only remember how to make a cereal bottle, a gentle/comforting but hot steamy sex scene.. with a little cuddling in the end ;)

But no cuddling. I promise that there will be no cuddling at all. Lots of folks write cuddling; I'm not one of them.

Anyway. Within the context of House needing to get away and do his thing, the red light section works nicely. And the remote sense is good, because it's (to me) like he was finding better parallels to home there than he could in the foreign hospital.
I thought gum problems were related to liver? But I never understand the medical parts except in context with themselves.
The dream is so much like a dream, and so consistent with how his subconscious has to be working, I'm actually impressed. Only there's a typo: "he sees Wilson nude body stretched out on top of the covers, " that I'm sure you'll want to attend to. :-)

Having one's teeth cleaned is a great way to pick up an infection. I've ended up septic after having mine cleaned on two occasions. The porous tissue of the gums is like an open door with a big sign on it. I thought it was a very House thing to pick up. II probably could have made House's thought process from the gaping mouth of the woman on the cover to his cynical assessment of porn to bacterial endocardidis a little clearer, since this is prose. (This is basically a note to myself for the rewrite.) But I was imagining that moment we get in some shows where House figures everything out from something totally random.
I'll go fix that typo now. I get to where I just can't see them sometimes, and I've been exhausted since the beginning of January, which has slowed me down considerably.
OK, back to work now.

Ohhh, like poor Bobby Darin with his plastic heart valves and then the no antibiotic dental work that infected his heart and led to his unfortunate early death. Anyway. Yes, I get it now. And, cool. Fun House diagnostic trick.

There’s no shame in satisfaction until you are forced to understand what gets you off.
It's very House, and very much like his better observations of people's behaviour. The whole thing is wonderful (and even better the second time reading it than the first), but that line really struck me.

A fair number of readers didn't care for the trip to Switzerland, but I'm proud of some of the stuff in this chapter. Rereading it to give context to your comment was an interesting experience.
Sorry to go on like that.
