Guilt



Last evening, I attended a group meeting where the state of our collective spirituality was the topic of discussion. The subject of guilt came up and many of those present opined on the place and purpose of guilt in our ongoing spiritual quest. I opined also. This morning I awoke with an explanation which would make guilt and acronym. 

G         Great
U         Unreleased
I           Information
L          Lacking
T          Truth
I   will leave it there. It is an acronym I will always use to dispel any guilt I feel about my actions or words; and not assign guilt to any even if they appear to be processing unreleased information.

Respite

  Respite a most wonderful word used to conjure magical places, peaceful settings and moments carrying memories to last a lifetime. I recently had a respite. I have been in hospice for about eight weeks now and while in their care, I've felt cared for and nurtured at the very least. Every staff member that interacted with me was an innate caregiver and i felt it. Thus, when I felt myself getting a little weak i could not figure out why. I said nothing to those around me. Then my nurse came for her weekly visit. She took one look at me, and you have declined, not you, you have to be around for Baseball's opening Day in the spring. Pulling up my pants which was beginning to slip, I replied without too much conviction," I'll be here in front of the television." She did not reply so i thought she'd let the matter go. She did her regular checkup, blood sugar, blood pressure, and temperature. Then she scribbled on her tablet, and all the other things she does on her

Pulling a Jimmy Carter

  I am about to pull a Jimmy Carter. How you may ask. Here's how, I have just signed up for Hospice care. If you may recall the oldest living past President has been on Hospice since February 2023. More than likely, I will do Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve and of course my birthday in February 2024. The decision was a joyous one. For the past two or three months I have been uncomfortable with constant pain in various parts of my body. Palliative care now is much more preferable than the aggressive care I have been taking. I have become quite fund of the caregivers at the cancer clinic as well as the MRI clinic and will miss seeing them. However, it is time to say farewell to them. I will have to find a way to have those wonderful chats with Miss Kat during my ride back and forth to my treatments. Don't get me wrong the cancer drugs and the radiation treatment have decidedly slowed the progression of the cancer that has decided to cohabit the body in which I live. T

What The MRI Revealed

Image
 On Friday May 27th, 2022, I went to the hospital to have an MRI done on my head, the reason for this procedure was to let my doctors and NLPs know what was happen within my scull with the errant cancer cells that had wandered into my head and was surgically removed in November of 2021. Before they put me into the machine, they had to inject me with a contrast for their own reasons. Well, the nurse in the MRI center could not get my vein to cooperate; so, I told him " I have a port". He was not trained on accessing ports, thus they had to get a certified port specialist. For over two hours they were unable to find such a person in the entire hospital. Finally, they found such a person working in the ICU and could be spared for the few minutes it takes to access my port and attach the necessary implement through which the contrast would flow into my body in order for the MRI to be properly done. When she could be spared and came to the MRI unit, she was an angel. I mean that l
