    Looks like you're a bit higher than I (no Oaks). We got plenty of snow in early December though. Beautiful, living in the country!

    "In Case of Fire, Break Glass"

    Thursday, July 2, 2009, 03:39 PM MST [General]

     

    There is a certain point, when words bottleneck

         When the ink eventually flows dry, leaving

    friction.

    heat.

     

    Where there were once tides of expression, cool

    smooth.

    Wet.

     

    Left with flaming hands,

        It's time to

        Break Glass.

    ______________________________________

     

    Here's a Song, enjoy:

    Yes, but I still like to wear the special cut-offs I made with the curly threads that everyone stares at because they look like Levi's candy canes and the girls often ask where I got them and I receive protection from them because all the right-wingers look at me strange and avoid me and so that makes them right theyr entirely worth it even when it's snowing.

    How High's the Water Mamma?

    Tuesday, May 5, 2009, 09:04 PM MST [General]

    Well, We  Just Drove to Salt Lake City in Utah and I had the BIGGEST Surgery Thus Far! ... A BIG SURGERY. So, yeah, I came down off the Mountain and traveled the distance. I had to go deep to get through this one and it's not over yet

    I have missed being around. ... I've been a long way from home, Literally speaking and metaphorically speaking. Thanks again to all the support from the communtiy here at Enchanted Folk. I look foward to being around more and more each week ;}     I am also going to start by updating a two-year old profile of myself     I have seen, heard, and read a ton of great stuff since then, so I have to revise.

    So, I don't even know how to begin...

    I'll use some excerpts from some other posts I've made to save my body the agony of double post typing.


    We did make a two week trip stay to Utah to go to one of the best doctors in the very special field of my needs... I needed a fully reconstructed abdominal wall. Until a few days ago, not a single muscle was attached in my stomach, from my chest to below my waist line, right down the middle.

    Months ago I had been cut open in a previous surgery ( you may have read it in an old post...lemme know if you wanna know the first chapters of what crazy stuff went down) and the muscles never reconnected at all, going all the way up and down the middle of my little tummy-tum-tumm. So my stomach was bulging out with nothing to hold the insides "in". Every step was pain..... BUT,

    This Doctor is a Genius!

    I felt Like Humpty Dumpty before the surgery, now I feel like I may move a little again,..

    It all depends now on if my Back is ok???

    And now MY muscles have been all Individually sewn back together and I've had a new Technology added to my abdominal wall lining too. I'll explain more later / sooner. Gotta Go for Now.

    I cant be sitting up for too long at a time, so I must add more later....I have to retire for a few... Sitting at the Keyboard is the Most Extensive I can get with my physical therapy at this point.

    More to Come,

    WATCH THIS(not complete, but great):

    Hey Matt it's great hearing from you... I was expecting Steph would make a post for us, so to hear from you is awesomeness itself in the moral dept. Yes... the back. Let's all hope this is where it improves, as it sounds good with the muscle-sewing. HEAL Boy, HEEAAALL!!! (Thus sayeth the Lady Goddess.)

    Yes - Get well! :^)

    Took me far too long to think of checking on here, I had figured something had to be up, sorry to hear it's more of the same but glad you are recovering. Be well, heal, and take the time you need to heal.

    I can't believe what you have been through. A couple of years back a young college teacher I knew had a heart attack and went into a coma. His family signed the release forms and let him go. He was only 34. I like hearing the stories people have of near death experience. My husband has a very bleak view of life, I like what has been shared here.

    Hi Matt

    Thank you for adding me as a friend, I am homored. Your story has me remembering when my mother came out of her coma. she told me where she had been and what she saw. She said she was taken to a white ice castle by ladies all in white. She said it was the most beautiful place she ever saw and it was warm & comforting. She asked me if I could see the Ladies that were sitting at the end of her bed ( Idid) she said she wanted to go back with them. The next day, she did. This time she choose to stay there. Thank you for helping me walk there again.

    Optimistic! Reborn! Indeed I understand what you went through. People say I am "fighting cancer", but I say not. I feel as though I'm just drifting in a current that will ultimately take me across the RAINBOW BRIDGE, but enjoying the leisure and smelling the flowers as I go along. I had emergency surgery 5 yrs ago and the recovery and diagnosis were my "shamanic crisis" of being reborn.

    Love the Gene Wilder photo. He is one of my faves and he is a home-boy. He's from Milwaukee and I was born there.

    Always have a sense of humor!
