Bright Spots

 


Yesterday, I finally gave in and called an ambulance and gat myself taken to the ER, where I saw Doctor handsome, I 'sware to God' he was straight out of central casting. Never mind the eye candy doctor.  Let me tell you about the pain. It was steady with shooting moments that solicited a scream, sometimes it started under my left armpit and wound its way down the arm and into the elbow. All the while the pain was accompanied by thundering belches.

So, here's the first bright spot, they took an Xray of my left shoulder, right there in the ER waiting room. No calling down to imaging, no being wheeled down long hallways but in the screened room on the bed which served as a gurney. The young technician wheeled in a device fit for a science fiction movie, pointed it at me asked me to turn my head to the right, said thank you to me and it was done, and she was gone. 

A few groaning minutes went by, and I closed my eyes for a brief meditation, a practice I do when I have to wait for the attention of medical persons to come to see me. I dozed some, then the curtain was drawn open and there stood Dr Handsome all smiles, with the second bright spot. There was a pinched nerve triggering the pain, and he had a doctor within the system that could take care of such a situation, I should make an appointment as soon as possible. You bet I will as soon as offices open.

 I am so very grateful to know what to do about the pain which occupied my awareness for more than a month. 

There are bright spots in every day, that was mine Today.

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...

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...

ODESSEY (Part 1)

Image
The very the beginning of this part of the odyssey happened in 2013 when I was diagnosed with colon cancer. The surgeon, Dr. Schertzerger, then removed half of my colon; said she had removed all of the cancer.  After a grueling course of chemotherapy all of it was gone, that was pronounced by the medical team who cared for me and measured my "levels" month after month, these levels showed no sign of any offence, I was on my merry way free from the offence. Then the following happened.   It was the usual Sunday Service at Unity North as I rose to do the Meditation when everyone in the congregation thought I was having a stroke. Anita and Sylvia rushed me to the Urgent Care afterwards; there they took one look at me and said this one belongs in emergency. There they threw up their hands and said call the neurosurgeon and book her a bed. The grand neurosurgeon, Dr. Benedict took scans, rushed me into surgery opened the right side of my scull and removed the offence. That off...
