After a twenty-year period of multiple illnesses and injuries, filmmaker Su Friedrich turns the camera on herself as a way to analyze her chances for a happier, healthier life. In the process, she captures the frustration, tedium and petty annoyances of a revolving-door relationship with the medical establishment, while portraying the complicated web of emotions that accompany any medical problem. With humor and honesty, The Odds of Recovery uses the filmmaker�s medical history as a means to address a perennial human problem: the desire to avoid conflict and deny the need for radical change.
