Have been suffering from the winter of the decade in Maine...<br />SAD but the constant dark days, often extreme cold and the ice storm, blizzards have affected me more than I thought... I looked at my summary of posts for January and was<br />surprised at how lax I'd been...<br />Will try to keep up...I'm sure spring MUST be just around the corner. <br /><br />Hope all is well with you and your family,<br />Peace<br />SiggiSiggi in Downeast Mainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12977578917775406831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8512327745848627452.post-20433783723477306812014-02-03T23:40:26.264+01:002014-02-03T23:40:26.264+01:00Opie,

...Sorry I have been gone....Here are my excuses: <br /><br />FEB 2014 POEMS<br /><br />2 FEB CARPE DIEM HAIKU KAI REPORT:<br /><br />(Just spent five days in the hospital surviving<br />the really nasty bacteria released from hiding<br />under a large gall stone for about five years.<br />When the stone was removed, the little nasties<br />flooded my body, and I was hooked to anti-<br />biotic drips for four days. In the VA Recovery<br />Room, I had a Russian doctor and several nurses<br />with multi-national names. I sometimes felt that I was<br />on a surgical stop along the Trans Siberean Railroad.<br />But I am ready to resume the discovery and quest <br />of our pilgrimage through some mind-and-body-clearing<br />meditations and soul-searching. But first, a short report<br />of my travails.<br />Thanks for the well wishes from friends around the world.)<br /><br />29 Jan 14 - 2 Feb 14 (Surgery and Recovery)<br /><br />recovery room...<br />in white coat and stethescope<br />my Russian Shaman<br />petit woman all business<br />with daily briefings/orders<br /><br />outside my window<br />a buzzard circles daily<br />cleaning the highway<br />of putrid waste and spoilage...<br />I call her Shaman's eagle<br /><br />in the GI ward<br />multi-national nurses<br />poking and probing...<br />Vietnamese nurse saying<br />she had E coli as child<br /><br />nurse pushing wheelchair<br />taking me for some Xrays...<br />name: Anastasia<br />unrelated to Czar Nick<br />mysterious black beauty<br /><br />second daily brief...<br />still no smile from Doc Shaman<br />my show must go on...<br />called the buzzard her eagle<br />viola! a touch of a smile!<br /><br />day three on the ward<br />learned about the three big Ps--<br />pain, pee and poo poo<br />pain lessening in my throat<br />plenty of pee pee...no poop<br /><br />day three evening<br />unhooked from the IV<br />the big poop session...<br />up walking down the hallway...<br />“Hey, I pooped in the potty.”<br /><br />day four briefing<br />Doc concerned about some things<br />to be monitoredt:<br />chronic pancreatitis<br />chronic gallstones, e coli<br /><br />more surgery due<br />for the offending bladder...<br />a bushel of meds<br />more tests and treatments needed<br />follow-up labs with prime care<br /><br />added concerns<br />COPD big problem<br />great breathing concerns<br />nebulizer ordered<br />left hospital too soon<br /><br />(“om mani padme hum...<br /> om mani padme hum...”)<br /><br />my spirit ready<br />to discard travails and trials...<br />resuming travels<br />visiting temples...finding<br />a warm and calming peace...<br /><br />om mani padme hum...<br /><br />opie<br /><br />opie houstonhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Opies-poetry-friends/530846836971195?hc_location=timelinenoreply@blogger.com
