We did one of these "What's Your Fucking Medical Problem?" diaries last year, and it seemed to be well received. Follow below the koslique if that rings your bell.
KosAbility is a community diary series posted at 5 pm ET/2 pm PT every Sunday by volunteer diarists. This is a gathering place for people who are living with disabilities, who love someone with a disability, or who want to know more about the issues surrounding this topic. Our use of "disability" includes temporary as well as permanent conditions, and small, gnawing problems as well as big, life-threatening ones. Our use of "love someone" extends to beloved members of other species.
Our discussion threads are open threads in the context of this community. Please feel free to comment on the diary topic and ask questions of the diarist, and also to ask general questions about disabilities, share something you've learned, tell bad jokes, post photos, or rage about the unfairness of your situation. Our only rule is to be kind; trolls will be spayed or neutered. If you are interested in contributing a diary, contact series coordinator postmodernista.

For reasons that I'm unable to detail at this point, we had a little incident Friday that has me a little - um, not quite my usual chatty self. I was unable to secure a diarist, and an not really in the right frame of mind to write something myself; I probably won't be participating much tonight either. I apologize, and don't want to concern anyone.
So, please enjoy each other's company this evening, And if anybody wants to volunteer for a diary of your own, it wouldn't hurt my feelings at all if y'all wanted to fill up a month or so of Sundays...
