Ninety-two thousand people wait for transplants every day, and
Arlene C. Swirsky was one of them from November 2001 until
September 2003, a decade after she was diagnosed with polycystic
kidney disease. With a not-all-there elderly mother and a family
simply trying to make life work, Swirsky finds herself engulfed by
a confusing mixture of anxiety and guilt as she waits for a
transplant organ. It isn't easy, and it certainly isn't pretty. As
months become years, the waiting turns Swirsky into a new breed of
modern woman, one prepared for all eventualities and all possible
outcomes. Her inner bitch crawls out of hibernation to guide
her-with questionable results, screaming failures, and, on the best
of days, mighty miracles. With an unparalleled degree of honesty,
humor, and vulnerability, Swirsky explores the gamut of thoughts
and feelings that transplant patients cope with every day. Set
against the lovely hills of central Massachusetts and the beaches
of southern Maine, Rediscovering My Inner Bitch provides an
unflinching glimpse into the soul of a woman waiting for someone to
die so that she may live.
