It’s been a year; it’s been five years
Five years and a few months ago, something happened – I don’t remember it – and I woke up in the emergency room all banged up with my head bandaged and neck and shoulder immobilized. And now it’s been one year since the last brush with that guy in the dark robe carrying a sythe: if it hadn’t been for immediate surgery my perforated intestine would have been a very, very unpleasant way to go out. Even with surgery, it was pretty damned unpleasant.
I’m semi-recovered from both things: my memory is full of holes, my shoulder and hip still hurt, and my innards still feel pretty iffy. But I got my balance back, so that’s something.
I can’t extrapolate a trend from two data points that are comprised by random events anyway. Besides which I’m not sure it would do me any good to know what’s next. Hopefully, there’s no trend to extrapolate.
Thats what I’m hoping for. Another way to look at it, if you get as many lives as cats you have a ways to go.
Webs, I’m not sure I want to go through any 7 more anythings like that. It takes a lot out of you.
I hope that this trend has been broken also!
My nephew survived a 40-foot drop from a freeway offramp when he crashed his motorcycle against the railing and he kept going. (His recovery is slow but seems to be going just fine.) I say to you what I said to him: just don’t do that again!
