This story is great fun; it's sexy too. I especially enjoyed the heroine/narrator's personality, including her fairly strong—but decidedly quirky—ethical principles. I do feel sorry for her uncle, though. He got left out of the action entirely. Perhaps there will be a Part 3? Fine with me, if so.
Regarding the pain in your feet, have the doctors given you a diagnosis yet or are they still looking? Also, have they considered that the pain might not originate with the feet? I spent years in a lot of pain that started in my left foot and the doctors I saw never gave me a solid answer. Just a couple of years ago, a new doctor I was seeing finally made the diagnosis. I have a very rare neuro-inflammatory disease called CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome) which can affect any limb and often spreads over time. Once I knew and was able to start learning more, it helped me so much to understand what was causing the pain and find at least some things I could do to help reduce it. Although there is no known cure for CRPS, and the disease continues to advance as I get older, it has at least given me a starting point for research and trying to understand.
Having to live with any type of chronic pain is something that is so difficult to truly understand for people who have never experienced it and while I am not bi-polar, I have had to start taking meds for depression (and I was already on meds for ADHD and anxiety). I greatly sympathize with the things you have been through and truly hope that things are getting better. You have incredible talent and I would love to see you feeling better and able to share more of your great stories as you can.
Not much good news. Went to my neuropathist on Wednesday for a series of tests. 'Yes', I have nerve damage and 'no', the doctor looking at the results couldn't understand why. Essentially, they ran an escalating electric current from various spots on my lower leg and foot to toes to see how I responded. I highly recommend this as a means of torture.
On the downside, I am becoming resistant to my pain medication, so life sucks coming and going. My psychiatrist upped my Gabapentin from 300 Mg to 400 Mg [3x a day] and it isn't helping. Woot? I'd kill for a decent night's sleep.
Thank you for asking. I really wish I had better news.

Also Ellie, I second Gypsy's suggestion that you might take on a story with a disabled character in it. Preferably a female one. I would never feel comfortable suggesting it to another writer but I think you would be able to do it justice. If you and wanted some insight to chronic illness I would be happy to help.
I'm also going to look up the naked gardener as well. Thanks for the tip. :)
