Hi everybody. Welcome to the blog where I talk about the present.
When you’re like this, you have to have a laugh at yourself, otherwise, it’s too depressing. So I have a floor that has porcelain tiles on it. It’s very slippery when wet. My aide was transporting me from my bedroom to the bathroom. I have a special chair to use in the bathroom. Well, how can I put this lightly, but I basically had an accident on the floor. Yes, I pooed on the floor. Charming, right? Well, my aide had brand new shoes. He stepped in the poo and slipped. He was so pissed off. He almost fell right into the mess, but caught himself on the sink. That could have been a disaster. It was bad enough as it was. My friend here said, I might have had to call an ambulance for him. Nothing surprises me anymore.
You know, Thanksgiving is coming up. It’s my favorite holiday. It’s funny, I had a dream where I thanked my body for getting me through all this, and it’s true. I’m thankful I was in good shape from running and surfing and everything else I did. My body gave me the strength I needed to get through all this. I’m also thankful for all my angels, like the one sitting in front of me typing. Her and all my aides and family and friends. I’m especially thankful to my surgeon.
You know what I’m really thankful for is my memories. They got me through all the tough stuff. Somethings stand out more than others, like when my daughter was born, that connection that was made when we looked at each other. Amazing good luck to the surgeon, as they put me to sleep. Stuff like that. That’s why I’m always amazed at kids, because they don’t really have any memories. I guess they truly live in the moment.
Anyway, I’m rambling on. It’s Halloween. Have a good Halloween and I’ll talk to you guys next time I blog.
Love, B. Nice
