It’s a deep mystery, and the smartest people in the world don’t know the basic reason for it. — Richard Feynman via Throwing Rocks From the Shores of the Cosmic Ocean | The Primate Diaries, Scientific American Blog Network.

What a word. Spooks the hell out of me. I really, really, really wish I didn’t have such vivid memories of my past surgical recoveries. The smell of alcohol, iodine, blood, and saline. The way every whisper of a breath feels like a sledgehammer to the chest and ribs. Feeling the searing, white hot, blast Continue reading Stream of consciousness (Source: Cancer, life, and me) Cancer, life, and me blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4968841 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 18:21:07 +0100 4968841 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3475946&cid=t_212625_129_f&fid=36035&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.everydayhealth.com%2Fblog%2Flife-with-chronic-pain%2Fthe-morning-in-my-life-with-chronic-pain%2F Before I open my eyes each morning, upon awakening, I feel pain.  Each day it is the same, that moment never changes because my body has not changed. The area of pain may move, and does, as I take inventory each morning. “Arms, legs…  still intact. Hips in pain as well as the backside. Neck, sore yet functional, etc.” When I am asleep I dream the dreams of the healthy which are shattered on awakening. Each day, I am disappointed. I must be a slow learner because I have not accepted the pitiful side of my fate by now; or perhaps I am just a believer in efforts, faith and possibilities. When I open my eyes, I usually have the front or the rear view of a furry grey Miniature Schnauzer who has cuddled closely to me with the morning chill, trying to horn in on my heating pad. Both ends...

We’re going to ask ourselves questions like, “What is the meaning of life?” as well as “What does life mean to you?” and “Is it possible to be happy living a life with chronic pain?” What is the meaning of life to you? I know there are as many answers to that question as there are individuals asking it. To some of us it has changed over the years as we have changed. We age, we decline, we become more educated, we get sick, and we get rich or poor and our goals in life change. Nobody stays the same, ever. The glitch in the answers to life seems to come in at that change part. When we live with someone else and we change, they have to adapt, or adjust to that change or there can be su...

It doesn’t come and go, like an errant neighbor; no, it stays, more like an inconsiderate relative who moved in without waiting for an invitation. When a cataclysmic event occurs in your life, like the advent of chronic pain, it changes you. Not only do you have the physical part of it to deal with, but because you still walk, hopefully, talk and breathe, you have to find a new and often inventive way to do everything. Life’s personal responsibilities remain, our family duties continue and the mere simple tasks of daily life call out to us; therefore you find new ways to do old, everyday jobs. Over the years on this blog I have discussed with all of you the many ways to ease life while at t...

Perhaps that's because it wasn't spent alone, and there were two events that could have been, well, lonely. And they weren't. The first being the "Boy, Girl, Virus" program that Gwenn and I did at Hiram College in Ohio. That's Gwenn before the program, smiling kindly for the camera. This is at the end of the program... can you find me? I'm thinking of doing a "Where's Waldo?" picture at all future talks, though I'll hide better next time. What's cool is that there were about 60 students at the 9 pm event in the student center- and it wasn't a mandatory program. "This is the best turnout we've ever had!" One of the organizers beamed. I beamed, to...

By the way, the video posted below is one of the best videos I've ever seen. It's a clip courtesy of "The Love Doctor", who kindly visited Fox to expound upon the purity of the new president's love for his first lady. It quickly takes a turn for the worse. This is like a Valentine's Day present from the Gods, enjoy! I couldn't resist.
