momentary clarity

perhaps, or perhaps the moment passed before i found the words, but the process of healing continues and the distortion in thinking and perception (not to mention movement) continues as i deal with the sometimes profound distraction of relatively constant pain... not a good place to be, as at least one of you know all too well (as much as empathy is a powerful force towards understanding, actual experience of being in another person's shoes (bad pun for me) and experiencing some of the physical experiencing someone experiences is way more real than any empathy, so ... hug, for what it's worth)... and then there are some around here who have had injuries before and many are concerned because of their own experience but with a hug i say i don't want to hear the negativity of permanent ankle injury that i keep hearing from people who did not do what they needed to do to heal and rehab right from similar joint injuries, thank you very much (got to be firm, even hard, on that point)...

day by day, hour by hour, movement by movement, moment by moment, i just must retain enough focus to do what i must do to heal properly... and tonight, that meant falling asleep in the recliner immediately after i hopped happiness out for a walk, fed him, fed myself, and writing briefly to a friend (personal letters, oh how i miss them... it is good to have one person who knows me well back in a semi-regular written correspondence mode)... waking after a four hour cycle to empty the bladder, i distracted myself with the ncaa football video game and then came here to update as i do in this blogging life (that is actually a blog itself, in case you didn't know... so many now, 63 right here at blogspot (blogger/google or vice versa), sheesh, right?... or as craig would say, i know... i miss his personality and humors, gonna turn him on now (he'd like that, he's so easy)...

hopefully the foot will allow for a few hours more sleep tonight... might not shower, that's a time consuming physical challenge that could lead to disaster so i am taking thak risk as few times as i can stand... shush, i know i don't smell like my usual squeaky clean self, not like anybody is body inspecting these day, aye?... oh sure, remind me... someday my princess will come, cuz there's always hope, i hope, la la la... grinning through the pain :}

take care of you and kit, aye? :)
