the moon agrees

Having naturally and with little effort removed myself from the societal onrush of the generational hordes behind, all pushing for their rightful place on the planet, giving them room as all the elders are expected to do, becoming a balding grizzled repository of cultural, theosophical, and other peculiar knowledges no longer in fashion, I sit perched on the side of this slumbering volcano which long ago blew maybe a mile off its elevation thereby producing several peaks named after the relatives and by the whimsy of the dominant by god members of the domineering society on a first name basis with the map makers and the politicians who continuously seem to have little idea of what to do but funnel more power to the powerful, I stare out the window at the moon and laugh.

This left hoof will be hacked by a chopper with the right credentials, experience, and bedside manner in a couple of weeks, so I done got me (past perfect tense, self-obtaining, for all you grammarians) a cell phone capable of twitting and tweetering and texting and no doubt many other things I will never comprehend for when I have "tears in my ears from lying on my back in my bed," as the old song goes, thus finally dipping my toe into the baptismal waters of the twenty-first century, becoming a communication monster.

Thanks to all who take a peek at this blog. My posts should get really interesting when I am strung out on some whammo pain medication. Though I no doubt will appreciate the soporifics, I still think that, as always, laughter will be the best medicine. The moon agrees.

  1. George,

    Be careful in the hospital. Both my Mom and a friend of mine were not given enough pain medication to dull their pain sufficiently after surgery. They were also discharged too early and were subsequently readmitted. My friend just got out of the hospital last week, so this is a trend that's been going on for a while now. So, make sure that the nurses listen to you and don't just give you platitudes. Request a pain med specialist to see you to evaluate your pain levels post-surgery if you are still in a lot of pain in spite of the opiates they pump into you. I'm sure that the inadequate pain med dosing is due to the hospitals and doctors being scared of losing their licenses to the DEA. I hope your surgery goes well, it's as pain free as possible, and it's a success.

  2. As, I suspect most do, I avoid hospitalization like the plague. Plesase use the enormous powers of your mind and repository of good humor to make you stay a short one. May you and the sprit have a few good chuckles (with or without the weed or some dirivitive thereof)
    Love to you
