Chronicles Of Me: My Poorly Scheduled Heart Attack

Chronicles Of Me

My Poorly Scheduled Heart Attack

Okay, let me start by saying that I scheduled my heart attack at a very bad time...not that there is ever really a good time for one, but I do think that everyone should have one! (Not really but more about that later).

I'm sort of starting out in the middle of the story here and will gradually explain it all in due time.

Now, as for the heart attack itself, well, it went much better than I expected! The time from ambulance arrival at my place to recovery room was in my estimate, about 30 minutes! Once the stint was in place it was like all my high school distance running conditioning was reinstalled! It was amazing! Hence my reason for saying everyone should have one.

Now, the process I am using to tell my story, as I said earlier, is sort of starting in the middle but it will all come together.

Prior to the heart attack I had a case of Bell's Palsy which aggravated my pre-existing cataract problems which had slowly been stealing my vision. This may, or may not have been the result of my two Covid 19 vaccinations but that is another story for another day.

Since blindness was overtaking me cataract surgery was scheduled, but unfortunately, I mistakenly scheduled my heart attack during the same season. The result was a three-month delay in my eye surgery during the first week or so I achieved almost complete blindness.

So, it has been a kind of rough couple of years in some ways:

A dreadful plague was over our country.

Followed by Covid 19,

followed by related sickness,  

followed by facial paralysis, 

followed by blindness,

with a heart attack thrown in just for fun!

I'm not complaining, in fact I am grateful. All the problems were temporary and I knew this while they were upon me. I will explain more about all these things in coming episodes, and who knows, they might just be helpful to someone going through the same things.

Strangely Spiritual Verse

  Strangely Spiritual Verse Fig Leaves Our fig leaf clothing Hiding our sin With our own shabby tailoring Chlorophyll offerings Where sin demands blood. Altars A thousand blood-stained altars A thousand cruel wars (As unlikely as it seems) All tell the Bards great story To the ever squeamish us: Our only hope is blood! Shadows In Spring The unfolding of the leaf sings the song Which squelched, wells up within each narrow chest Of birth and death and birth again to come (The song the Singer sang from eons past) The swelling bud casts shadows year by year The vast unfolding of eternal life. The Dew (The Day) The dew Drops of cool clear Crimeless blood on scalpels Of green, the bright shout of the sun: "Born fresh!" The Conquering King The fear of the unknown, The dread of fear itself, The brutality of war The nameless, battered wife, Thorns,thistles, sweat and death; The signs of mans domain We too groan and wait  For the conquering King. Paradox Door Who could guess that our l

Let The River Wash Me (To the Gulf of Mexico)

  Let The River Wash Me (To the Gulf of Mexico) Chorus  Ashes to ashes, iron turns to rust. It's better to die living than to grovel in the dust. And when the living’s over, turn me loose and let me go Let the river wash me to the Gulf of Mexico! Verse 1 Before my father was my father, he took comfort in the breeze  When the shade fell down upon him by the creek beneath the trees, He followed that old creek bank wherever it would go Where the water meets the water to the Gulf of Mexico! Chorus  Ashes to ashes, iron turns to rust. It's better to die living than to grovel in the dust. And when the living’s over, turn me loose and let me go Let the river wash me to the Gulf of Mexico! Verse 2 The time was drawing near. I didn’t know what I should know. So we drank a beer and talked about the row we had to hoe. Take my ashes to the creek bank, spread them out and let me go. It will take me to the river and the Gulf of Mexico! Chorus  Ashes to ashes, iron turns to rust. It's bet
