Quick check in

This will be brief. I am tired for some strange reason. I went to sleep dreaming of riding Clara and woke up with a zipper down the middle. I have never really gone in for strange body art, never a tattoo. Well a few piercings in my youth. I got all kinds of groovy attention for six days. Had some great friends. I woke up in the middle of the night to find someone sitting there. One of my husband's coworkers who gotten off at 11PM. She helped the nurse move me.

I have so many friends here and on the forum. I really am not scared. The MS was scary. This thing only has one course of treatment, no decisions had to be made. Mortality does not interest me so that is good thing. I only believe I have today and hopes for happy tomorrows.

If the higher power is listening I did not sign up for the all you can eat buffet, so my plate is full all ready!

Keep the good thoughts coming. It is working.

Alex

Glad to see you still have your humor intact. That means you are stubborn enough to go ride Clara if it didn't hurt so much.

HUGS!!!!!!

Yeah right! No... I think Clarabell has to be patient for you a little bit longer :).
Hope you will have a better sleep with that zipper gone!

My best,
Dagun

They took the zipper out today and gave me this truss. I forgot to ask if that means it is okay to ride now. LOL.

BTW, I don't think anyone needs to hide their zippers. It tells a story. One that you never need to hide. :-)

Hi Alex,  I'm glad that you are home now.  Oh, wait, are you home, or are you still in the hospital and posting from there?  

I hope they can keep your pain under control and of course your breathing.  You're one tough cookie. I friend of mine had his colon removed and he's really young - about 5 yrs younger than me. He had to stay in the hospital for quite a while.  And speaking of tattoos, he got a new one across his chest to try to hide his new found zipper.

Sending many positive thoughts your way.
Hugs,
Kelly
