WHAT DID I DO WRONG?

I THOUGHT I DID THE MORALLY CORRECT THING AFTER MY "MOTHER" HAD DIED AND THAT WAS TO CONTACT THE SOCIAL SECURITY OFFICE, ENTERING THE ONE ON VINE STREET, BRINGING ALONG MY MOTHER'S DEATH CERTIFICATE. I HAD PURCHASED A HALF DOZEN, AS HAD BEEN RECOMMENDED BY THE FEMALE DOCTOR WHO HAD ANNOUNCED HER OFFICIALLY, AS BEING DEAD.

THE SOCIAL SECURITY PERSON ASKED,"DID YOUR MOTHER OWE YOU ANYTHING?"

A TRICK QUESTION TO SAY THE LEAST.

NORMALLY, IF YOU THOUGHT THE WOMAN WHO HAD BORE YOU, IS YOUR TRUE MOTHER, BY BLOOD, YOU WOULD RESPOND AS I HAD,"SHE WAS MY MOTHER!" NOTHING MORE NEED BE STATED.

OF COURSE I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RUSE AT THAT TIME- WHICH HAD STARTED AS SOON AS I HAD LEFT LAX FLYING FROM NEW YORK, SHARING A SEAT NEXT TO AN ACTOR NAMED MURRAY,(SOMEBODY) WHO KEPT SAYING, "DON'T CALL ME MARY"...I BELIEVE HE MAY HAVE BEEN THE ACTOR WHO GAVE THE LINE AT THE END OF THE MOVIE, "THE GRADUATE", "PLASTICS MY BOY, PLASTICS!"

I HAD TAKEN A TAXI TO JULIE MANNIX'S PLACE WHERE SHE AND HER HUSBAND WERE RENTING A DUPLEX OFF OF PICO, AND I REMEMBER HER CHILD, A DAUGHTER, BEING RATHER CRANKY...THE CHILD, NOW FULLY GROWN, I WOULD LATER SEE IN A FILM WITH THE ACTOR BUSCEMI,AND I THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS PRETTY GOOD...JULIE AND HER HUSBAND AS PREVIOUSLY STATED WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAD SENT ME A CONGRATULATORY WESTERN UNION TELEGRAM REGARDING MY LANDING THE ROLE OF "ELLIE" IN "SHAFT'S BIG SCORE"...I WAS LIVING AT THE TIME AT OAKWOOD GARDENS...I HAD ALSO RECEIVED A TELEGRAM FROM THE COMEDIENE WITH THE COMEDY ON NBC WHO ALWAYS SAID,"THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT", AND HE DRESSED AS A FEMALE, AND I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER HIS NAME, BUT HE HAD INVITED ME TO A PARTY, WHICH I FOUND UNUSUAL, SINCE, I DON'T NORMALLY ATTEND PARTIES.

I HAD NO IDEA THAT JULIE AND HER HUSBAND WERE LIVING NORTH OF ME IN A HOUSE IN A PRIVATE STREET OFF OF LABREA, ON HILLSIDE, WHERE I HAD PURCHASED MY CONDO...THOUGH I BELIEVE I HAD SPOTTED SHE AND HER HUSBAND DRIVING SOUTH ON LABREA IN A BRAND NEW JAG...I BEEPED MY HORN, BUT I GUESS THEY HADN'T HEARD...JULIE MANNIX HAD PLAYED "ARIEL" IN "BEST OF EVERYTHING" AND I BELIEVE I'VE SEEN HER HUSBAND IN UNIFORM DOWN AT THE SANTA MONICA LIBRARY AS ONE OF THE GUARDS.

ALSO, I RECALL SEEING A HUGE MAYFLOWER VAN MOVING SOMEONE FROM THAT PRIVATE STREET, WONDERING IF THAT WAS JULIE AND HER HUSBAND AT THE TIME. I DID GO UP TO THE AREA, AND I NOTICED THERE WERE A COUPLE OF FEMALES KEEPING WATCH, PERHAPS, AND THE DOGS WERE BARKING INSIDE, I COULDN'T BE SURE IF THAT WAS JULIE AND HER HUSBAND'S DOMICILE.

I HAD ARRIVED IN LOS ANGELES IN MY LATE 20'S AND AS STATED I WAS NOT AWARE OF THE SABOTAGE, WHICH MAY HAVE ACTUALLY STARTED IN NEW YORK, AND POSSIBLY PRIOR TO THAT, IN NEW JERSEY...STARTING WITH DOCTORS THAT ONLY "PRACTISE MEDICINE" AS THEY HAD DONE WITH MY FATHER WHEN THEY HAD OPERATED ON HIM INSTERING A THICK BLACK HOSE, WHICH CAUSED HIS BACK TO BULGE AND I RECALL THE AMATEURISH STITCHING WITH THICK BLACK CORD LIKE STITCHES, THIS AT THE YONKERS PROFESSIONAL HOSPITAL, DURING THE TIME THAT I HAD GIVEN BIRTH TO MY SON, ON ST. PATRICK'S DAY, IN THE YEAR 1961.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I HAD BEEN TOLD WHEN I WENT FOR A PERIODIC EXAM WAS THAT I HAD A THYROID PROBLEM, WHICH WAS NEWS TO ME, THE FIRST DOCTOR HAD RECOMMENDED SURGERY, SIMILAR TO WHAT "LIZ TAYLOR" HAD ON HER THROAT LEAVING A HORIZONTAL SCAR - CALLED A TRYSECTOMY, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

OF COURSE I GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM A DR.BORIS CATZ WHO HAD BEEN REFERRED TO ME, BY WHOM I DON'T RECALL, DR. BORIS CATZ STATED THAT I DIDN'T NEED SURGERY ON MY THYROID, WHICH IS THE THERMOSTAT FOR THE BODY, THAT HE WOULD TREAT ME WITH CYTOMEL, AND LATER, WITH BONE DENSITY LOSS WITH FYSOMEX, THIS FROM PAULA BERNSTEIN MY GYNOCOLOGIST AT THE TIME ON BEVERLY BLVD, ACROSS FROM C&S AND ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STREET AS GRACIE ALLEN AND GEORGE BURNS BLVD - CATZ'S OFFICE IS LOCATED ON CAMDEN DR. IN BEVERLY HLLS, IN THE MICKEY FINN BUILDING, AND HE NEVER HAD UPDATED TO COMPUTERS, DOING EVERYTHING MANUALLY. MICKEY FINN WAS THE PHARMACY I RECALL HEARING THAT HAD FILLED ALL OF MJ'S MEDICATIONS.

I ALSO RECALL THAT WHEN HE HAD EXAMINED ME HE ASKED IF I WAS FROM BACK EAST, TO WHICH I HAD STATED I WAS, AND HE SAID THAT I SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM CABBAGE...HE SET UP A SCHEDULE FOR ME, AND MY BLOOD WAS DRAWN ACROSS THE STREET EVERY TIME I WENT TO HIM, BY A PRIVATE LAB RUN BY MIDDLE EASTERNS.

THE LAST TIME I HAD SEEN DR/ CATZ HE HAD STATED THAT HIS WIFE HAD FALLEN...(TO BE CONTINUED)
