Good Morning Major and Mrs Major!

Apologies for the irregular postings, but be assured you and the people in this thread are often in my thoughts.

I'm sleeping about 4 hours a day at the moment as the sun swings round earlier and earlier and as if from nowhere, the nights get hotter and hotter. Had to dig out the summer wardrobe and turn on the cold fans. even iced water spritzes have started- about three months earlier than they should.

I hope autumn is treating you better and easing you both into the cooler seasons.

Wishing you well and happy.

I offer you the call of the blue wattled crow (Kokako) which is a rare New Zealand bird. I have never seen one as they are all reared on another island.

Gooood Morning Major! Gooood Morning Mrs. Major!

I hope you are still on the upswing, Major and that your Mrs. is following suit. It's always amazing how men and women, together, make such complimentary halves, to such strong, varied and interesting wholes. Me and my Mrs. are actually quite different; I guess opposites do attract, from some of us. Where I am weak -she is strong. When I stray to hardness she is soft. All I know is that together we can pack one heck of a punch in this day by day bought on our journey to a championship. I think I just heard the starting bell for the next round!

Goood Morning Major! Goood Morning Mrs. Major!

It's so nice to be able to post again this morning. My atrocious work schedule means that I have no weekends totally off -except when I'm on vacation- I get up when most people are in the middle of their days, and I go to sleep while most everyone else is arising for a new day. I do get to split my waking hours between two days which is sometimes confusing. Regardless I am so fortunate to be working and to have worked through these last few years of ecomonic turmoil.

There is so much, each day, that seems to be more valuable to me that would seem trivial to others. I hope I never lose this gift of vision. To be able to look at trees when I drive to work and realize how beautiful they are. Keep your view(s) unobstructed and clear; keep your vision keen and intent; keep your hearts in faith; keep this day as an invaluable remembrance in this journey we all are on.

Hello to all my good friends from both the Mrs. and myself! :) You all are always a a bright light in our lives no matter how bright the sun is shining, you all make it brighter!

I seem to be living a soap opera life but have gotten all the good lines so to speak this week. On Monday morning I had to get my spinal injections for blocking nerves that are damaged and to relieve the pain. It works very well but is a surgical procedure because all it takes is a minuscule bump with the needle to hit a nerve that shouldn't be touched.

That happened Monday when the C4 and C5 got "bumped" and I wasn't able to breathe and my arms and shoulders disappeared. It was no biggy since I was in a hospital setting and they ran a respirator until the nerves started functioning again in about 3.5 hours. I have to tell you that it was a long 3.5 hours! I have always said I had rather not be alive than to be completely paralyzed.

That little episode scared the crap out of me to be honest but it it reaffirmed my feelings about being paralyzed from the head down. I was good to go after a night of observation but it also reaffirmed just how fragile this thing we call life is. Based on many prior injections of that sort, I had been allowed to take the injections without anesthesia of any sort (with my written consent of course) but likely wont have that option the next time! :laugh:

The little episode was cause due to a millimeter or so of me being awake and tensing or flinching so it isn't anyone's fault but my own. Why did I bother to mention it? Well it took me out of action for a week because as soon as they let me go, I have only been inside my home when eating, bathing and the necessities of life. It was such a small thing yet had such a profound impact on my appreciation of being alive and moving my limbs on my own.

It is still hot here in Florida so I am finally back off my outside kick but it was beneficial I am sure. Please don't think I am complaining, quite the opposite. I do apologize for not being around a computer or what not this week without sending word but I was as stated, just being appreciative of the things in life we all take for granted until we get a scare.

Oh and be assured I will take the anesthesia next time because the blockers do help and I can deal with the shots but I can't say I wont move at the wrong time again! :laugh: I hope everyone has had a wonderful week! Despite how it may sound, as I type this, I can honestly say I have had a great week no matter how it started. ;)

Steve
