Does it count that I mainly "visited" West Virginia and Virginia by going to that place where the corners of WV, VA, & MD all meet? LOL I really only have memory of that...I know we were staying in MD, so that definitely counts! I was 8 or 9. Not too much can be expected of me.<br />
<br />
While I would love to tour the South, and find an Alaskan cruise intriguing, I have no desire to visit Hawaii, which most people don't understand. But if I did, I would probably want to give the beaches a skip. Just not my cup of tea--except for sunset pictures and shell collecting. Laying out? No!!! I also have no desire to visit Florida. Just doesn't call to me as other places do. But I am sure if someone gave me a trip, I would find something charming to do in each place.<br />
<br />
As for the other blank states, I'm willing, but the body and bank account are both weak. But perhaps some day I will have the chance to fill in a few more states.<br />

<br />
<b><i>I am an Empath.</i></b><br />
<br />
I feel...deeply. Not just my own feelings. But those of others. I pick up on the feelings of those around me: people I know, people I don't know--even neighborhoods, or houses, or stores. I don't like shopping in many thrift stores as I smell and feel death and despair all around me. I love touring houses for sale, but can often pick up on whether the family was mostly happy, sad, or violent.<br />
<br />
I am an empath. I am not a psychic. I just feel deeply. I can often pick up on the feel of neighborhoods. I can tell if I am walking (literally) into evil (a story for another time--a story of a Halloween past).<br />
<br />
I am an empath. I pick up on the feelings of others--in stores, in the work place, in strangers, and especially in friends and family. I feel their joy and their grief as though it were my own. I will feel their injustices as my own. God forbid someone hurt them.<br />
<br />
Being an empath is the ability to sense the feelings and emotions of others, without their telling us, verbally, what they are thinking and feeling. Often, someone who is an empath needs to learn basic shielding techniques - otherwise, they can find themselves feeling drained and exhausted after absorbing the energies of others.***<br />
<br />
Funny thing is, or perhaps it's because of all this, I have a hard time sorting out my own feelings at times. My mom will point out that I seem pensive or snappy or off--and then I will sit and sort through things and suddenly it will all pour out with the most minor thing coming out first and the heaviest thing last. And it will usually be a build up of things--and they won't just be about me. It will include things about friends who are dealing with things too.<br />
<br />
<br />
Want a for instance? After being crabby with my mom last night (and telling her I wasn't--LOL), I all of sudden paused the TV show we had been watching and in a flood of words (and tears) told her for an hour all that had been upsetting me:<br />
<br />
...my medicare insurance sent me <b><i>5 huge</i></b> books about upcoming changes in the insurance plan I currently carry. Um....I have suffered bain dramage...I mean brain damage...and that kind of paperwork doesn't just overwhelm me--it immobilizes me! And then I have guilt about not reading the pile of crap and not knowing what's happening and feeling immobilized, which makes it worse. And I have to read it and decide if I still want it. And if I don't, I have to research and find a different one. But instead, I'm just going to keep it...cuz, really, seriously, no one can expect me to do all that! Can they?<br />
<br />
Ok, yeah, that was fairly minor. All things considered. But those things have been bogging me down since October.<br />
<br />
...October. October. October 6th. Huge, deep, shuddering sigh. October 6th was the 4th angelversary of my friend Jill's baby son <a href="http://fierceandfiesty.blogspot.com/2014/10/not-connecting.html" target="_blank">Joshua</a>. Joshua was diagnosed, in utero with a Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) that doctors didn't know if he would survive within the womb, but he did; and they weren't sure he would survive the surgeries needed to fix the heart once he was born. He surprised them by surviving the 1st. But while he was a brave as a lion, his heart wasn't strong enough and he passed away in his mother's arms while his daddy drove desperately to the hospital. My heart absolutely breaks for Jill and her family (not just on October 6th but year-round) as they continue to learn to walk through this life with one of their darling family members not here with them. When Jill grieves, I grieve with her. Deeply. When she talks of her eldest son's grief for his missing baby brother, my heart breaks. Yes, they are learning this new normal, but it is hard. Jill is an inspiration to me, but the things she has gone through, at the hands of cruel 3rd parties, no grieving mother should go through! And yet she has found hope and comfort in the arms of Christ Jesus. She's my hero. She's my friend. And I love her. (She also is the maker of Branwen, the special doll that Teagan & I play with, who is very special to us. She is also the founder of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JoshieDolls" target="_blank">Joshie Dolls</a>: she makes dolls for CHD children/families' with the exact scars that the children have. Absolutely incredible. And very healing for them!)<br />

<b><i>But at the same time, I hate November.</i></b><br />
<br />
...November...November...November 11, 2007 was the birth of the Madeline Spohr. I started reading her mama, Heather Spohr's blog, <a href="http://thespohrsaremultiplying.com/#axzz3IFI1UjkP" target="_blank">The Spohrs Are Multiplying</a> back 2008, I think...after I had had to stop working due to illness and could just sit and read this fun blog. I freaking fell in love with Madeline (and the Spohr family--doggie Rigby included)! This spunky lil baby just captured my heart! She had been a premie who kicked statistics in the butt and went on to pretty much thrive. Notice I said <i>pretty much</i>. Because she was a miraculous premie, Maddie always had lung issues. Getting a cold was no simple thing with her--it was something to be avoided at all costs. Pneumonia could be deadly. Frankly, a cold could be deadly. And in April of 2009, it was. On April 7th, that incredible ray of sunshine was gone. It was such a shock. Of course to her parents, but also to the readers of Heather's blog--I mean WTH?!? Babies are not supposed to die!!!! (Though, of course, I knew they did as a former colleague of mine experienced the horror of child-loss through still birth just months before, in December 2008, actually, when my sister was heavily pregnant, scaring me to no end. The service was so sad, so horrible seeing that little tiny casket, seeing that empty armed mama and then Aaron not knowing what to do--there was his grief to deal with <i>and</i> hers--he wanted to comfort and protect her while not knowing what to do with his own grief.)<br />
<br />
I've watched the Spohrs go through this process of grief for 5 years now, little knowing that they, their blog about their lives, would be paving the way for myself just a few months later. Through them I met Kristine (see below), and through Kristine, I met Jill. Six degrees of separation. The worst kind of separation. But I've watched them form a "new new" and seen them be blessed with 2 more incredible children...and loss another child to miscarriage. Heather also lost her best friend to brain cancer. Her best friend who had stood by their side through everything and had been their lifeline lost her own. I grieved so heavily, yes for Jackie as that time came, but mostly for Heather and also for Mike (Heather's husband) as he was once more grieving his own loss Jackie was also his friend, after all) while trying to comfort his wife during this traumatic time. I am an empath. I feel these things deeply because, as odd as it may sound, I've bonded with Heather, someone I've never met in person and I feel for her deeply. And, no, I'm not a stalker. November 11th, Maddie would have been 7. Jackie would have been 36 on the 13th. Days that were supposed to be happy are now bittersweet because the person is gone. Permanently. Maddie only had one birthday <i>ever</i>. One big party and one private little celebration with her mom & dad. They had cream puffs. We always have cream puffs November 11th in honor of Madeline.<br />

...November...November...November...Five years ago, November was supposed to have been such a great and exciting month for our family. Earlier in the year my sister & brother-in-law had just given birth to her 1st born and that November my brother and his wife were expecting their first born. The cousins would have been a fun 9 months apart. Instead...<a href="http://musingsfromauntiem.blogspot.com/2009/11/demetri_12.html" target="_blank">instead</a>....without ever taking a breath outside of the womb, on November 12th, 2 days before his due date, my nephew Demetri passed away in utero. He was born the following day via (induced) natural birth. <i><b>He was born the day after he died. </b></i><br />

<br />
Our family's world was turned upside down. The grief was unbearable. No one was prepared for this disaster. No one could have foreseen. No one should have. But life went on. The "new new" as we learned it was called. We are still learning about it. There have been joys along the way--we were all blessed a couple years later with the birth of Demetri's little brother Dante. He is a joy and a blessing and a sweetheart! And he and his older cousin Teagan are thick as thieves! We all love seeing them together.<br />

<br />
But grief is a process--a long one. But you start traditions that help get you through. My mom & I planted rose bushes for each of the grandchildren/nieces&nephews in the yard of the house we purchased together, but it started with planting a special rose bush for Demetri that we planted while at our rental house. It is a climbing rose bush, its branches reaching towards the heavens. It's a Josheph's Coat--the roses have many different colors--yellows, oranges, reds, and pinks of all different shades. I save and dry rose petals every summer. Each year on the 13th, we to a park near to where we live. It's beautiful there. It's a park--not a playground (though there is one of those there too). A river runs through it. There are trees, birds, plants, ducks, <i>nature</i>, all around. There's trails for walking, biking, etc. And there is an arched bridge over the river. Each year we go there together and quietly meditate and silently talk to Demetri and scatter rose petals into the river. I take pictures. Of us. Of the river. Of the petals. Of the changing trees. And it brings peace. The empath in me needs that.<br />

<br />
Last year I was sick. Too sick to go. I seriously couldn't move out of bed, due to pain, for over a week. I've felt guilty for a whole year about that. Which is really stupid. Because Demetri wouldn't have cared. Had he lived and had it been his birthday party that I had had to miss, he would have been sad, I would have been sad, but neither one of us would have felt guilty for a whole effing year, for god's sake!!! If the party had been at our house, he would have come upstairs for a cuddle & a kiss & that would have been just fine. Why do I carry stupid, useless guilt like that around with me? Why? Don't know. But I did.<br />
<br />
And besides our own grief over losing Demetri, there was also the grief of watching his parents grieve--or try to grieve...to try to continue to breathe...continue to live...to make the motions...to eventually find a new normal for themselves. <i>Losing a child is the hardest thing a couple can go through</i>. In fact, most couples who lose a child <i>eventually</i> divorce. It may not be immediately. It may be a few years down the line. Losing a child changes a person, sometimes so radically that a marriage cannot survive. If there were fissures in a marriage prior to child-loss, the earthquake of child-loss can cause the structure of marriage to topple. Not always, but often. Heather Spohr <a href="http://thespohrsaremultiplying.com/living-with-loss/a-marriage-surviving/#axzz3IFI1UjkP" target="_blank">wrote</a> about child-loss and marriage:<br />
<br />
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i>"The death of a child completely shatters you. You’re the same people, but at the same time, you’re really not. Everyone changes throughout the course of a marriage but it’s rarely so sudden and complete. So you have to get to know each other again under one of the most harrowing circumstances imaginable.</i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i>No two people grieve the same, even when you’re grieving the same loss. One partner might be very vocal about how they’re feeling, while the other is quiet. One might express grief in “traditional” ways (crying, etc) while the other does things their partner finds odd. You’re also rarely grieving on the same “cycles,” so to speak. Sometimes you resent your partner for bringing you down when you’re having a good day. Sometimes, you feel guilty for bringing your partner down.</i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i>There are times in grieving where you want to be – <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">need</span> to be – selfish. You don’t want to consider somebody else’s feelings, only your own. You want to be taken care of, and you want to believe what you’re going through is the worst and no one can <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">possibly understand</span> how much you hurt. But you <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">do</span> have someone who understands, and it’s both a blessing and a curse. A blessing to not have to walk the path alone. A curse because some days it’s all you can do to help <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">yourself</span> survive, let alone someone else. Shutting down and shutting out becomes a defense mechanism.</i></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: Lato, HelveticaNeue, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 22px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<i>You’re also forced to address difficult situations and emotions that you might otherwise be able to ignore. It would be easy to ignore the complicated things if you were grieving solo – you can just say that no one understands, and leave it at that. But with a partner in grief, you’re really forced to examine painful concepts and memories if you ever want to possibly rebuild your life. Sometimes you have to do that at someone else’s pace, and it’s frustrating."</i></div>
<br />
This time, in this case, it toppled. Not immediately. But after years of living separately together, Demetri's parents are divorcing.<span style="font-family: inherit;"> [See how I distanced myself there?] </span>My brother, my sweet, darling, baby brother (who of course is a grown man!) is going through another loss: that of divorce. Whether you want the divorce or not, it's still another loss. And I don't just feel his pain. I feel her pain too. She may have wanted this--but as I said: loss is loss and divorce is not an easy thing. And what does one do with the previous 13+ years of relationship? That cannot simply be tossed away. They have memories that belong only to them--both good and bad; they are theirs and no one else's.<br />
<br />
Additionally, our families have melded and that isn't easily undone--and frankly, shouldn't be. Because despite a marriage coming to an end, there is, <i>always</i>, two children common between us all. And one is still here and needs us all. And needs us all to be at peace with one another.<br />
<br />
But in the meantime, it sucks, but that's the way it is. I think, sadly, it is hardest on Dante. I could say a lot of what I see him going through trying to figure it all out, but I won't. Let's just say, I carry it for & with him, as well as with my brother. I have a hard time talking with my brother. I don't know why. But I would, quite literally, die for him, if need be and to see him struggle with all of the hurt and pain of the past years has shattered me. He is an incredible parent and I wish he had both his boys with him, but I am so very, very glad, for Dante's sake, that James is the daddy he is. I am so glad that they are together full time. They need each other. They are good for each other. They, them together, are the part of this story that makes my heart sing!<br />

But overall, the journey from the initial horror of grief through to the new normal to relative healing (because it's all relative) has be good for all of us...though our love and desire for Demetri never leaves us.<br />

...November...November...November 30, 2009, a pretty little girl named Cora was born. She was perfect in every way. Every way except for her undetected broken heart. A simple pulse oxometer test performed prior to leaving the hospital after she was born might have caught it. Instead, she died in her mother's arms in the middle of the night, 5 days later. Her mother, Kristine, was the 1st person whom I really connected with after Demetri died. She didn't care that I was his aunt, not his mom. We would be on Facebook for hours talking about the horror of sudden child-loss. Cora was her 1st born. Kristine, in her grief, in her daughter's name, has gone on to do incredible things for our nation in regards to saving the lives of infants. She got a law passed in her own state, Cora's law, that mandated that all hospitals, and all home births, be required to perform a pulse ox test not just after birth but 48 hours after birth to check that the oxygen saturation levels in the baby's blood--if they are low, tests can be performed to check on the child's hearts and lungs. A simple pulse ox test, non-invasive, in-expensive, life-saving. I love that she did all that while in the depths of despair. She also helped others get this same law passed in their states too. And much, much more.<br />
<br />
Kristine has done amazingly well, especially as of late, in her journey through grief and healing. But still, every year, as these anniversaries roll round, birth and death I feel her loss anew. One can move on in life, but one never, ever, ever forgets or gets over the death of one's child. EVER.<br />

...I will be forever grateful to Kristine, Jill, and Heather who accepted me, a grieving aunt, into their world--that of child-loss grief, as I felt my nephew's loss so deeply and felt I had no where to turn. There aren't really support systems out there for aunts. And you see, I've come to fully realize that during this time, I don't just grieve Demetri's death, I grieve my loss at never getting to be a mother, as well. From the time I was about 12 or 13, I have carried with me the deep desire to not just be a mother but to carry a child within me. I had been considering IVF when I got sick and learned that my brain was so fragile, that had I become pregnant, it would have killed me (yup, seriously, straight from the neurologist's mouth!). So yeah, that sucked. I found that out in 2008. I went through a lot of counseling concerning this. We lost Demetri in Nov 2009 and because of the health issues that came with my fluctuating hormones, I had a full hysterectomy in March of 2010.<br />
<br />
On the one hand, it was the best decision I've ever made: no more horm<span style="font-family: inherit;">one fluctuations; no more migraines, no more useless internal organs. I thought it would stop my yearnings. I thought I'd gone through enough counseling. But I think because I'd had these desires and yearnings for something like 26-27 years, it's not like you can just blink and the feelings will go away. Proverbs 13:12 says, "Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire is fulfilled it is a tree of life." (King James 2000 version). It is hard to get over a permanent deferred hope. I find that, for some reason, I really grieve over this in November. Perhaps it is because a really dear friend of mine really hit the nail on the head when I called to tell her about Demetri when she said that she knew I was going to feel this loss as though it were my own. She was so very, very right. I do and then I feel my own loss. The loss of my own dreams and desires. I may no longer have any of the organs necessary to conceive, but the longing has never gone away. I wonder if it ever will? In the meantime, I grieve my loss of a child I never had in November (and at Mother's Day).</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">*my sister's mother-in-law has been battling cancer for some time now, and it moved into her brain. While she came through one open brain surgery well, the surgeons couldn't reach it all, and now it has spread, not just in her brain but to other places in her body--she can actually feel a couple in her leg. I freaking hate cancer. I hate that Mama Sue is going through this. I hate that Papa Tom is going through it--but love how he is standing by her. I hate what each one of her children and each one of their spouses is going through. And then I think of their 11 grandchildren--really 12 because Dante calls them Mama Sue and Papa Tom too. I hate the idea of Sue potentially not being at family gatherings. I grieve for each one of them--Sue, Tom, their 4 kids, their 4 spouses, all those grandkids, all those extended family members (like us!) and friends. Sue's love is far-reaching.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">...So, I guess I've had a lot on my mind. On my internal shoulders, so to speak. And it takes me a long time to sort through all that and put it into words. And I guess what tipped me over the edge was that someone near and dear to my heart was at our house last night and said something snippy and rude to me that hurt my feelings. Guess it was the last straw. It was something stupid. But it was enough. Plus she phrased her insult with the words, "Your mama said...blah, blah, blah about you & your behavior." <i>Double slap</i>. (Even though I knew my mom <i>never</i> would have said such a thing about me because a) she doesn't gossip and b) the comment was true, but still...)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So yeah.... I am an empath. And last night I had a bit of a breakdown. A fairly mild one, considering. Just a few tears (one tissue's worth), a lot of words. And a lot of sorting through all of the above.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">***</span> If you want to read more about empaths, I liked this <a href="http://thehappysensitive.com/being-empathic-versus-being-empath-crucial-differences/" target="_blank">article</a>. Keeping in mind that most articles I've found tend to put "empaths" in categories with pagans, wiccans, and psychics, please note that I am using this new, trendy term for something I came to understand about myself years ago: I carry other people's feelings so I can pray for them: I am not just an empath, I am an intercessor. While in the ministry, I also participated in counseling or inner-healing, which is actually referred to in this article, but <i>Jesus</i> was always the focus.<br />
He still is. I rely on him to get me through everything in my life: my illnesses. My own disappointments. My own griefs. My own joys. And, most definitely, the joys & griefs I carry for/with others. As I've said before: He's not my crutch; He's my stretcher! I've tried to learn how much I can carry without being completely unbalanced in my own life. So, unlike this article, I no longer deal with the imbalance of all of the items listed, though I can certainly relate to almost everything on her list. I may feel the heaviness, at times, (like now) but it is because <i>I choose to</i>, not because I cannot help to.***<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Vision—Rubble</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A pile of rubble</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Shards of broken pottery</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Discards</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rejects</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Garbage</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A Man comes—walks through</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eyes piercing, searching,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">looking intensely…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He bends, drops to His knees.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Scarred hands pry through</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the rubble.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He digs—carefully…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">not because of His</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">hands, which crack</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and bleed—opened</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">again at some ancient</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">scarred wound.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">No—the care He takes</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">is for the shards.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">These He holds carefully—</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mindless of the pain they bring to Him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Rather, with gentle care</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">—as a caress—</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He lifts each piece</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">from the rubble,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">piecing together a vessel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Searching for each lost piece,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">bringing it back,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">that the vessel might be whole.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">No piece is overlooked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each fragment is valuable—</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">priceless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The pieces found,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He turns back to His house,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">cradling the broken vessel</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">in His arms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once home, the pieces</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">are laid out before Him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He picks each one up</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Remembering.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As He remembers,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He washes the piece…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">with water & tears.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Washing away the grime</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">so that each piece</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">—though broken from the whole—</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">is beautiful again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then, painstakingly,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He begins to put this vessel</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">—cracked, damaged, discarded—</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back together again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Each piece telling a portion</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">of the story of His vessel’s</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Time has lost meaning</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">as He works on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On—through the evening,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and on, into the darkest part</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">of the night.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On—</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">never stopping,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">except, perhaps, to admire</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As dawn breaks,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the vessel stands</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Complete:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">each piece in place…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">nothing missing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Whole—whole, but cracked.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">He fingers the vessel lovingly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Running worn hands over</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the cracks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A beautiful vessel…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and yet…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Potter gently kneads</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His clay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As He does,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Blood from His injured hands</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">is mixed in and through.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Then He gently applies</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this new mixture to His</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">precious vessel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Smoothing over the cracks;</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">filling them in until—finally—</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">they disappear.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Refined,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the vessel is placed in the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">furnace.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The heat seems unbearable.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">How is it the cracks do not loosen?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Perhaps by some power,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the vessel is held together in</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">this furnace of affliction.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ah, yes: ‘tis the Potter’s</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">own blood which keeps the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">vessel whole.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">When, at long last,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the vessel is pulled from</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">the fire, the Potter’s</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">joy cannot be contained.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There is His creation:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Beautiful</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">as before any damage</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">took place…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Only…more so.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Potter’s joy radiates out…</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">and by some miracle, pours</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">into this vessel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Filling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Filling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overflowing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The miracle of the Potter’s</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hands: transforming</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">that which was destroyed</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">into the perfect container</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">for His unspeakable joy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>

And then there was this awesome video from August 17--the day the movie <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sjzBa3kVQM" target="_blank"><i>Turbo</i></a> came out. Let's backtrack a little. Towards the end of June, my nephew, Van and I were talking about movies and we also talking about getting together with my friend Vivian and her grandson and maybe seeing <i>Turbo</i> together when it came out.<br />
<br />
Now mind you, when I said, "When it comes out..." it meant something <i>totally different</i> to me than to Van. To <i>me</i> it meant "sometime after the movie is released." To <i>him</i> it meant "<u>the day</u> it comes out."<br />
<br />
So, it came out on the 17th....and I learn that Van thinks we are going to the movies that day and he was up early, hair done, and dressed up... Well, I couldn't leave him hangin' now could I so, I showered & got a little dressed up too, and, later, received this video.</div>

I am bestowed with special powers to fight ghosts, dragons, and just evil in general!</span><br style="color: #37404e; line-height: 18px;" /><br style="color: #37404e; line-height: 18px;" /><span style="color: #37404e; line-height: 18px;">I learned about these special powers from my niece today at breakfast--if only I had known about them sooner! We </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #37404e; display: inline; line-height: 18px;">learned about them when she casually punched out a ghost while continuing to eat French toast & sausage.<br /><br />She first told Gramma what her special power was: the ability to throw fireballs at ghosts to make them go away!!!<br /><br />["Wow!!" I thought, "This is awesome! I can't wait to learn my power!"]<br /><br />And you, Auntie M! You have the power of Peaches!" ["Ugh say again????"] "You have peaches to throw at the ghosts and evil things! They hate peaches and will run away!"<br /><br />Who knew, right??? "Well allll right!!!" I said, mustering as much enthusiasm as I could. [Gramma gets fire balls and I get peaches???]<br /><br />Prince Mikey (aka Daddy) was bestowed with the power to fight & kill dragons with a fire sword!!! [Awesome!!!]<br /><br />And Teagan herself? Well, in addition to be Team Leader, the Special Car driver, the seer of ghosts and dragons, she has the ability to breathe out a stream of fire to destroy said ghosts and dragons!!!! [Wahooo!!!!]<br /><br />"So," I casually asked, "if Mommy were here, what special power would she have?"<br /><br />I have to say my sister's power has got to be the best!<br /><br />"Mommy has the power of ballet! She uses her ballet to fight evil elephants by dancing and twirling in front of them and scaring them away!"<br /><br />Best. Power. EVER!!!!!<br /><br />Now excuse me while I run to the produce market to restock my supply of peaches!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Perhaps the <i>real</i> Super Power used yesterday was the ability to not laugh out loud and to keep a straight face. Because Teagan's enthusiasm was priceless and none of us would have crushed that or her imagination for anything--no matter how much we may have wanted to laugh! But we did have pretty sparkly eyes shining around the breakfast table!</span></div>

Then look no farther!</span><br />
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">This short (under 2:30 min) documentary just won a silver medal at the Cannes Film Festival--in fact, I think you could say, it took the festival by storm! </span><br />
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 21px;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">This film captures what it is like to be autistic--to not be able to speak or express your desires, to be trapped within your own body, constantly fighting against the external stimuli that throws itself at you as you try to focus on what is happening just at your own table at a cafe.</span><div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">If you are ADHD you might relate a <i>bit</i>...</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ventography.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/21.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" height="221" src="http://ventography.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/21.png" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;">The amazing thing about this short film is that it was conceived and written and acted by an incredible young woman,</span><b style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"> Carly Fleischmann</b><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"> who is herself autistic and was unable to communicate until she was in middle school when they discovered she could control ONE finger to type very sophisticated and intelligent thoughts out on a computer...and not only did her world open up, but so did ours because Carly has an amazing way of actually explaining what it is truly like to be autistic!</span><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><br /></span></span><div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">There are 2 ways to watch this film on your computer--I suggest trying both ways. The first is an interactive way, where you use your mouse and just sort of move it around the screen as the dialogue progresses. Things (faces, sounds, etc) will come into focus or highlight more, giving an idea of what it is like to be autistic and not be able to block out any stimuli. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">The second way to watch it is by clicking on "Film Version" at the bottom of the screen and it will sort of do the unblocked stimuli for you. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">I then suggest going back and watching it in the first version but don't touch your mouse and see how much stimuli still gets through when Carly is simply trying to just look at her hands.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">While they recommend listening via headphones, this isn't actually necessary.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">As a follow-up, for those of you who read this who have FM, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, and/or ADHD--could you relate to Carly more <i>now </i>than you could have <i>prior to</i> the onset of your symptoms?</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">I know it is much, much harder for me to focus, hear, listen, and really be involved in a conversation when in a busy environment, or when I am in a lot of pain or am overly tired. I cannot clearly think or express my needs in those times. And I even "stim" more during those times (an expression doctors typically usually reserve for autistic spectrum people) by shaking my right foot more--and I truly cannot control it even when I try! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #0b5394; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">She explained a stim is a akin to a nervous tick. Many people twirl their hair when they are nervous or tap a pencil on a desk as they try to work on a problem. These could be considered stims. Carly’s stims though comes through because of an overbearing amount of stimulus in the air. Noise, people, movement, light or any number of things bombard Carly Fleischmann on a daily bases, making her cover her ears and rock back and forth to try and stop the stimulus from getting through to her brain</span><span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: normal;">I love that Carly pointed out that to some degree, many of us, if not all of us, stim to some degree or another at some points during our day to day lives!!!!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; line-height: 22px;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">I hope you were as touched and inspired as I've been by Carly!</span></span></div>

<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #073763;"><span style="line-height: normal;">While on </span><span style="line-height: 22px;">The Doctors, they also asked Carly what people most urgently needed to know about Autism. And her answer was quite clear. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">People need to encourage autistic people to be the best they can be. Carly said she wants people to believe in her and believe in her abilities to do whatever she wants to do in her life. </span></span></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">She's already written a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Carlys-Voice-Breaking-Through-Autism/dp/B00D1G89OY/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1371992474&sr=1-1&keywords=carly%27s+voice" target="_blank">book</a> and made a <a href="http://www.carlyscafe.com/" target="_blank">short film</a>: what else can this young lady do to inspire us all?!?</span></div>

My fathers ad agency came up with a way to pull it off and supported my vision. They produced it with a lot of their friends and connections. This film that I am proud to say won a silver medal at the Cannes lions Festival yesterday in France is shocking the world. A huge thank you, to everyone who gave up time to put this film together.<br style="line-height: 22px;" /><br style="line-height: 22px;" /><a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=60894670532&extragetparams=%7B%22directed_target_id%22%3A0%7D" href="https://www.facebook.com/AC360?directed_target_id=0" style="cursor: pointer; line-height: 22px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Anderson Cooper 360</a> you need to talk about this on your show. Are you afraid to talk about autism?<br style="line-height: 22px;" /><br style="line-height: 22px;" />I am so proud of this short film. Not only because it shows people what it's like to have autism, but because it's interactive and allows people to experience something and take something back from a film unlike any other film. <br style="line-height: 22px;" /><br style="line-height: 22px;" />This silver medal goes out to everyone in the autism community from parents to anyone on the spectrum who has autism and just wants to be understood. I am so proud to say that we showed the world what autism is all about. My dream and my hope is that one day soon, we can share different peoples stories of how they live on the autism spectrum. <br style="line-height: 22px;" /><br style="line-height: 22px;" />Conan O'Brien, Anderson Cooper, Sean Combs and Ashton Kutcher watch out because Autism has taken over the movies! <br style="line-height: 22px;" /><br style="line-height: 22px;" />Merci France, vous avez pensé au monde que l'autisme est important. <br style="line-height: 22px;" /><br style="line-height: 22px;" />From my iPad</span></span></div>

The past 8 weeks have been off the charts with pain & I've fallen twice on stairs. </span><br />

<span style="line-height: 17px;">I've had this "Back Pain in Exacerbation" since at least 2006 and had multiple MRIs and X-Rays on this location. I was told "you are riddled w/arthritis"--followed by "oh, no-you're not!" OR "It looks like degenerative disk/joint disease, but it shouldn't be causing the pain you're describing"...hmmm: I've been thinking it is! </span></span><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; line-height: 17px;">Especially since I had immediate relief just from the bupivacaine (like lidocaine) that they inject w/the steroid--but now I think the steroid is kicking in. Sweet holy relief!!!</span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 17px;">I was a little nervous about the epidural but it was guided by an MRI from a couple years ago, and I was in an CT scan while they gave the epi--with contrast so the Dr could guide the needle into the right place. Piece of cake. Felt no pain. In fact, fell into a half sleep during the procedure! LOL</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: #d0e0e3; color: #0c343d; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">Though the steroids gave me an almighty headache last night, it's gone and the relief has come today. SOOOOO HAPPY!!!!</span><span style="line-height: 17px;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #d0e0e3; color: #0c343d; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17px;">So very grateful for my Rheumatologist who listened to me about my off the charts pain and requested to view recent MRIs and immediately sent me for this procedure... And for the Anesthesiologist who confirmed I was not nutty but that I did indeed have Lumbar Facet Joint Arthropathy (degenerative joint disease--especially of on the right side of the L5-S). And he confirmed that the swelling would indeed "cause this much pain"!!!!</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhX5w31I7OAw6T9Cq81UZEUIrYacKvfTDvao0kb0tAQ-VafaW3F3uHOXdtFx1ImYzDEMBBxbP3drEh8ceGEzO6oXHLqdnLtmzootYMIz8DKSis-tIJlRA8uCiIR5myBqKXrP1iWNV8gI/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOhX5w31I7OAw6T9Cq81UZEUIrYacKvfTDvao0kb0tAQ-VafaW3F3uHOXdtFx1ImYzDEMBBxbP3drEh8ceGEzO6oXHLqdnLtmzootYMIz8DKSis-tIJlRA8uCiIR5myBqKXrP1iWNV8gI/s1600/12.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">The best thing a friend can do is: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">1) Let them know you believe that they are indeed in chronic pain & that it isn't all in their head!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2) Be there for your friend in a physical way.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">Think of this as being there for someone who is grieving a loss (a death of a family member or friend), in a sense, and how you would be there for that friend. An FM person may not ask for help, either because they don't want to be a bother or because it doesn't cross their mind to do so. Plus, often they really are grieving their loss of independence and freedom of movement that they once knew and are feeling betrayed by their body at the same time. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">So offer to run errands, watch their kids, make meals that can be frozen & defrosted & quick cooked for those days when the idea of cooking is beyond them, clean their house (it's amazing how heavy a vacuum becomes and how hard it is to stretch to clean a shower or tub). What you would want or needed as a person in grief can translate into what your friend may want or need. It's for a different reason, but the same needs are there.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">3) Be there for them in an emotional sense.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">Whenever they need a good cry or laugh or need to bitch & complain. FM is a funny disease--guilt is heightened with it. Do not ask me why. But this has been found to be a medical fact! So you might find a response of thankfulness combined with extreme guilt when you </span><i style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">do</i><span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"> help them out with something simple like a meal or picking their child up at school...when they wouldn't have been that way at all in the past! This guilt, too, may also stop them from asking for help with physical things, which is why you may just need to step in and do it--make that meal, vacuum that house. And keep on assuring them that it really is not a bother and you really do want to help in this way--or any other way they can think of. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">Also, emotions can go rather flat--because an FM person is dealing with pain both through their physical body and in their mind. And often it takes all the breath and concentration an FM person has to make it through a bad pain day or a flare up period. But then all of a sudden (usually with a "flare up"--meaning a time of worsened pain) their emotions can sky rocket and be all over the place. You know how when a woman is pregnant and the Hallmark ads or Folgers coffee ads can make her cry? Same can go for FM!! And what's odd is it can be a response that is </span><i style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">waaaaay</i><span style="color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"> beyond what is normal for the instance (like bawling your eyes out over a TV program where ordinarily you might have said, "Oh that's sad.") So be a shoulder to cry on when they need it. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">And of course there may be times of anger--mostly at their own body for betraying them in such a way or at doctors or "don't get it" or friends who don't understand, or the way their life has been forced to change because of this illness. Let them rant!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">4) Educate yourself on their condition.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">Read up on Wikipedia, or on blogs or go to national support sites. Get a feel for what they are going through. But (like someone who hasn't lost a child giving advice to someone who has) don't tell them you know how they feel or tell them what you think is best for them health-wise. (Eg Western meds vs Eastern methodology--though I've found a combination of both is awesome!) Send them links on good sources you've found but with a disclaimer (such as, "Saw this and thought of you..." or "Have you seen this/heard of this?" etc) and maybe with a brief summary (eg: "It basically says x y & z, which I thought was interesting because blah, blah, blah, but here is the link if you want to see it..."). You may even want to start a folder on your computer of resources & links etc for when they are up to looking at stuff like that. Or maybe they are crazily researching and reading every scrap they can come across! If so, ask them to share the links with you! Let them know they aren't going through this alone!</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">5) Go to Dr appointments with them--especially when they are first diagnosed, you really want to make sure they don't go alone initially.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">This is a lot to take in and when you go alone you run the chance of </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">a) missing something altogether or </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">b) misunderstanding something the doctor said. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">Having someone with you to take notes is extremely helpful. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">(Also, as a patient, having a list of questions that you want to discuss and go over is very helpful and having a companion there to make sure they all get asked/answered is helpful.) </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">Plus, given permission, you as the companion, may be able to offer additional insight to the doctor on certain topics because you've observed the patient--so where they might think "My gait isn't off at all" you might say, "Actually, I've noticed you are bumping into things more/holding on to things more/stumbling more" or something like that.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">Want to start educating yourself: you can visit my quick answer section on what's wrong with me: <a class="_553k" href="http://musingsfromauntiem.blogspot.com/p/whats-wrong-with-you-anyway.html" rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://musingsfromauntiem.blogspot.com/p/whats-wrong-with-you-anyway.html</a></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">And this is a brief on Chronic Pain that includes a letter written by someone with Fibromyalgia to Non-Sufferers that is really good: <a class="_553k" href="http://musingsfromauntiem.blogspot.com/p/chronic-pain.html" rel="nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">http://musingsfromauntiem.blogspot.com/p/chronic-pain.html</a></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span style="background-color: #cfe2f3; color: #073763; font-family: inherit;">On a side note, pregnancy massage & acupuncture bring great relief & my two stand by meds are Tramadal ER (aka Ultram ER) and Metaxolone (aka Skelaxin). The first is an a non-drowsy, non-addictive extended release pain med & the other is a non-drowsy & non-addictive muscle relaxant. There is also a lot of talk lately about LDN (Low Dose Naltrexone--a drug that has been around forever but in low doses has been found to greatly help with FM and is something I will be discussing next week with my rheumatologist as a couple of my FM friends are now on it and are having no pain!)</span></div>

<br />
First off, our computer went on the blizt and then was taken away to be fixed just days after Christmas.<br />
<br />
During that time, I decided to get the flu, cuz, hey, why not, right?<br />
<br />
But that wasn't enough for me, so I decided to also get strep.<br />
<br />
But since that cleared up so nicely from the antibiotics, I thought it would be great to get thrush down my throat.<br />
<br />
That didn't quite fill my quota, so I decided to rush the thrush up to my eyes.<br />
<br />
So that took up 6-7 weeks of my time.<br />
<br />
Since then I can't seem to stop sleeping all the time--which is better than insomnia. On the plus side, I lost more weight and quit smoking (with the help of e-cigs).<br />
<br />
So not all was lost.<br />
<br />
Just huge lapses in time, weight, a bad habit, and the desire to go back in time and blog about Christmas, New Year's, Dante's 2nd birthday, and Teagan's 4th birthday.<br />
<br />
But I can't lose those memories!!! So darn it! I will stop watching re-runs of Castle (hooked during illnesses) and NCIS (been hooked forever) and <i><b>will</b> blog</i>! As God is my witness!<br />

And then it was time for you to turn 4...but for about six months you <i>didn't want to turn 4!</i>!! You either wanted to stay 3 or skip to being 5 years old! You couldn't tell us why for a long time--you just said "Four is crazy!!" and you didn't want to be four! And you didn't want a party...or presents...or to go to school...or anything else if it meant turning four!! And by all means, <i>no one</i> should sing that birthday song to you!!! In fact, you burst into tears when people sang Happy Birthday to your <a href="http://musingsfromauntiem.blogspot.com/2013/02/happy-birthday-dante.html" target="_blank">cousin Dante</a>.<br />
<br />
But then, then we told you that we were sorry, but no matter what, you were going to turn four but it was your choice how you celebrated it: you could have a party or not; you could have presents or not; you could have singing or not...but regardless, you would indeed turn 4 years old on your birthday because that's just how it works. And then the truth came out: you have a little friend who is about 6 months older than you and the only 4 year old you really knew. Your friend is a boy who adores you & you adore him...but he<i> is a boy</i> and he is silly, and a little wild, and a he can sometimes be a little overwhelming, but tons of fun, and you miss him when he is away, now that he moved to a different state and you don't see him as often. And really your friend is also very sweet and can be quite calm and loves to cuddle and read and play quietly just as easily as he can play crazy-like. But for some reason, we don't know why, you got it in your head that when someone turns four they suddenly become crazy, wild, and overwhelming (though fun!)!!! Whether they wanted to be that way or not!! <i>And you did not want to a crazy four year old</i>!!! And finally about 2 weeks before your fourth birthday you were able to explain this to Gramma Cindy. She explained that that is not at all what would happen to you, and you happily decided to have a Princess-Pirate Birthday Party! There were just two caveats: 1) no one was allowed to sing the Happy Birthday Song and 2) you really wanted your little friend to be there (he couldn't come, but he did send you a wonderful present!).<br />
<br />
And so, your 4th birthday came about:<br />

<br />
And now we celebrate 2 wonderful years of you!!!<br />
<br />
At two years old you are running more than walking, counting (at least up to 5 regularly), recognize your ABCs, go to preschool 2 mornings and week, and bring joy to the whole family. You like to do the things your parents do--we gave you a set of keys, a wallet with "money" and a grocery store set (groceries, cart, scanner) for Christmas, and you love to hop on your motorcycle, put on your helmet (often this is clear tupperware), and "Go to the store for a few things!"<br />
<br />
Oh! And did I mention that you love anything with an engine--planes, trains, and automobiles!!! You love them!!! Motorcycles too!!! And you really, really love Thomas the Train.<br />
<br />
So this year for your birthday, the theme was Thomas the Train. Boy were you surprised when you came into our house and saw the decorations everywhere!!!<br />

Your family knows you well--pretty much all your gifts were toys that came with wheels and gears!!! LOL<br />
Except for the gift from Gramma Cyn-Cyn and Auntie M--we gave you a stuffed puppy & kitty that look Milo & Otis--from your (currently) favorite movie. And (of course)a book & a movie!<br />

By the way: you really, really, really love the trains & tracks from your cousin Teagan. Every day that Gramma comes over to play with you, you both go up to your room & you play with your trains all day long while Gramma Cyn-Cyn watches.<br />

<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today we (Gramma, my sister, Tiff, Teagan, our friends Donna & Jody, and I) went to <a href="http://www.molbaks.com/" target="_blank">Molbak's Nursery</a>~a winter wonderland
full of Christmas trees & decorations & a huge glorious selection of poinsetias....however, because Teagan chose me to be her
walking partner (lucky me!!!) I never really did see any of the poinsettias,
except one tree of them ("Hurwy up & take your pictures--my boots are falling
off!!!)</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
As we drove home, Teagan was happily reading
the "new" books that our friend Jody had purchased for her at a great
local thrift store for a $1 each--they looked like new to me! One was like
Where's Waldo only it was Where's Frosty (Teagan rocks books like these--can't believe how she can break
the pages down into sections to hunt for what she's looking for more easily
& she's only 3!!!). </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The other book was called "Find the Cake" so
I'm presuming it was similar--all I know for sure is that there were no words
in this book, just pictures. </span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Later I got this text from my sister: Teag loves the cake book! She saw </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">a
little scratch on the cover and said "Oh look, there's a little scrape but
that's ok, probably Uncle Jody bumped it or something. I'm still glad she got
me this book. Uncle Jody really likes me!"</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
That she does, Teagan, even if you do call
her Uncle! LOL</span></div>
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Jody really did capture Teagan's heart by fighting
off the scary polar bear, quickly taking away the surprisingly scary bird
decoration & by giving her books--but mostly for understanding the mind
& heart of a child! What a great friend/auntie. (Or Uncle!)<br />
<br />(PS~While we really did have a great time, we missed Auntie Danielle, and Cousin Dante. Next time?)</span></div>

My sister hosted & there were a ton of people: all the family...in-laws from everyside were there, plus family-friends...and of course kids...kids everywhere! </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">I call it our village, as there are truly enough people to populate a small village! A dear friend of mine wrote this in an email to me the following day:</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<i><span style="color: #660000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Thank
you so much for including us in your Village Thanksgiving! We both had a
great time and felt most welcome. I was thinking, on our way home, that
the ease and grace with which the whole thing came off was quite a tribute to
all who participated. Tiff and Mike made it look easy. Is it the
village that stands with them? I believe your family is super hyped with
the Gracious Host Gene along with the Fabulous Cook Gene. I can see why
you and your mom were so into the winery where those gifts and talents could be
shared with the larger world. And...the children, surrounded by The
Village of Love are blessed as all children deserve to be. It was
heart-warming to observe the loving interactions. Mmmm. </span></i><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">I liked that idea: The Village of Love. Makes me feel all warm & cozy inside. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">So here is a glimpse into our Thanksgiving Village of Love....</span><br />

Three years have come and gone since we received that phone call that turned our lives upside down...the call that told us that you, Demetri, had slipped away...you, who had been so full of vigor inside your mommy's womb, were instead to be born silent.<br />

It is good to see a bounce in your mama's step & a light in your papa's eyes. Of course there is that saying that "time heals all wounds." This, off course, is wrong: it isn't that time heals the wounds, it is simply that over time, with time, and with many other things, such as love, new birth, family, friends, God's grace, and much, much more, healing takes place. Of course, for that to happen, one has to release one's hold on the pain, the saddness, the bitterness, the comfort in the grief, to be open to the healing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then there is the most important realization of all and that has to do with the fact that while grieving has it's time and it's place, it cannot & should not last forever. The Bible says that while weeping may endure through the night, joy comes in the morning (Ps 30:5). But here is the 1st part of that realization, that is often difficult to penetrate through grief: after a while, our grief no longer honors the person who is no longer with us. But, instead, walking in healing and wholeness and joy does honor that person for a lifetime: because we are living life to the fullest, as they should have and as they would have wanted us to do--and as they would have wanted to do themselves.</div>

And sometimes it just jumps right in!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Joy pops up when your cousin Teagan takes my face in both her hands when she's talking to me, to be sure she has my full attention. Joy leaps in my heart when I hear your little brother, Dante, call my name. And when they laugh together! Oh, my joy is practically filled to the brim & overflowing!....</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think, in a way, this is why I take such joy in our
roses…it started with one simple bush to honor & remember you, Demetri, and
now it is a garden of “children” (all my nieces & nephews): living, growing, &
blooming ~ always reminding me of the beauty & sweetness God has gifted us
with.</span></div>

<div>
But, my sweet Demetri, here is the 2nd part of that grand realization: just because we may walk in joy & peace & healing, doesn't mean that you are forgotten or that we don't still often wish you were here too. Yes, I still wonder what your personality would have been like (based on how you were in the womb, I'd say that you & your brother would probably be gettin' into all sorts of good-natured trouble!!!)...or what your laugh would have sounded like...or what it would have been like to see you with your cousins & brother. But these musings are fleeting and they don't pierce the heart with a sword as they once did. </div>

Because, sometime, somehow, slowly over the past couple years, healing has come to our family and to my heart too. And it is so sweet to be able to think of you with peace and not piercing pain. Because, you see, I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that one day we will meet in Heaven's Glory. And I can be satisfied with that. But always know: I still love you here on earth, too.</div>

PS~Every single one of the roses pictured here is from one of your rose bushes. What started as one rose bush for you has become 3: one for each year you've been in heaven. The roses are climbing roses called Joseph's Coat and like his coat, each rose has many different colors from pale yellows to vibrant oranges, rosy pinks to almost firey fuschias. They are truly incredible roses! And they smell good too. The only downside: because they are being trained to climb: I can't pick them! But I do go out & faithfully gather the fallen petals & dry them...how is that for devotion?!?</div>

It's cute, because it seems some days she needs to spend extra time with her Auntie M (love!) and other times she needs to spend extra time with her Gramma (she loves!) and sometimes it's pretty equal.<br />
<br />
She's also been a lucky little lady lately because a few times that she's been here lately, Auntie Donna has stopped by & she just loves to rock Teagan! And Teagan just loves to be rocked by Auntie Donna.<br />
<br />
Downside: invariably she falls asleep & it's usually then a late night for Gramma & Auntie M, but what do we care right?!<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago, Auntie Donna came over & in-between coloring Gramma's hair & cutting Auntie M's hair, she sat down for a few minutes with Teagan to rock her...almost immediately Teagan began to sag & her eyes began to flutter:<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Yes, she's sleeping with a faux satin & mink blankie & faux mink pillow (and her faithful Purple blankie).</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
She slept...and she slept...and she slept...<br />
<br />
She slept right through Auntie Donna's birthday dinner, but I couldn't let her sleep through Auntie Donna's birthday dessert: she'd been to excited about it. She'd sent me to the store with explicit directions to find chocolate cupcakes for Auntie Donna and cupcakes with white frosting for her! Somehow, I managed to find a package with both! She was <i>thrilled</i>, to say the least!<br />
<br />
When Auntie Donna arrived, she ran to the kitchen & reached up on the counter & grabbed the box of cupcakes & ran excitedly to show her, falling over her words in excitement! How could we let her sleep through dessert? And her big plans of singing and of everyone having candles to blow out? No way!<br />
<br />
So, I went over to her and stroked her hair & whispered her name & said, "Teagan, don't you want to wake up now?".....no response, multiple times.<br />
<br />
New tactic: hair stroking, softly saying, "Teagan, it's time for Auntie Donna's birthday..."<br />
Eyelids flutter!<br />
<br />
"Teagan...don't you want to wake up for Auntie Donna's birthday and have some cupcakes?"<br />
Eyelids struggle to stay open.<br />
<br />
"Teagan...you can even have cupcakes for dinner..."<br />
Eyelids wide open & child is struggling to sit up! LOL<br />
<br />
I told her she could finish waking up while I got the cupcakes ready...she managed to croak out, "Can I have 2 white ones please? For dinner? Really?"<br />
<br />
Yup: Auntie M, Gramma Cindy, and Auntie Donna let Teagan have 2 white, hugely frosted cupcakes for her dinner at 7 o'clock at night.<br />

Oh boy was she happy!!!! (<i>Huge understatement!!!</i>)<br />
<br />
<b><i>She was also up til 1am.</i></b><br />
<br />
But who cares? It's not like this is how she lives her life...certainly not an everyday occurrence!<br />
