From room 245, Midcoast

I am clearheaded enough, finally, to write about what’s been going on in my life.  I am in the hospital after a pretty serus fall — I tripped in the house, and landed square on my left hip.  I am still not sure about the particulats, but the doc said he  did half-a-hip replacement.  I am seriously bionic, so look out!

I’ve had some kidney trouble — seems like this is the place for me to get in that kind of mess.  My numbers are better today, but I had to fight with the kitchen staff to stop sending me oranges and bananas.  As soon as I backed off the potassium, my creatinine fell from 4.5 to 3.7.

My mind and I have wandered through the other medical emergencies I’ve faced.  I can say with a doubt that this is the first time I’ve felt like I could bring on my own healing.  I know my family and friends, and you, my bloggy familyare sending me good vibes.    My relatives have been amazing and uenergetic and unstoppable.  My love and thanks to every one of you.

I am starting to get a little blurry-eyed, So this is it for now.  I should be able to write regualyly, once I am done with the drugs.  I hope you all are happy and healthy.  More soon.
